I am not sure whether your manual git clones messed anything up or
whether you somehow manage to trigger some error in our Make logic
(entirely possible!), but a plain "make" after

"git clone -b pve-kernel-4.15 git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-kernel.git"

should and does work (here), as long as you have all the needed
build-dependencies installed. note that libpve-common-perl is actually
required for one of the helper scripts, but not (yet) contained in
debian/control.in (patch incoming sometime this week, unless somebody
beats me to it).

maybe you accidentally added the '+' somewhere while editing/viewing a
file (like the Makefile, debian/rules, the generated file with all the
environment variables, ...)? the path should not contain a '+'!

check an excerpt of a build log here:

no 4.15.18-4-pve+ anywhere in the log, as expected.

what does "git status" output in your local working copy of the repo?
