I, on the other hand, keep a local subversion branch with the Emacs sources unchanged, in file:///svnroot/emacs/branches/gnu/. Any changes *I* make are made to file:///svnroot/emacs/trunk/, so when I need a clean copy of the source tree, I just remove the checkout of /trunk and check it out again. No serious build problems so far :) How do the people who work with the repository keep up to date their sources? Is there a way to actually _mirror_ the CVS changes, like CVSup or similar? - Giorgos
