Did you test that diff?
It includes changes like these...

- <https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00323.html>.
+ <https://lists.gnu.org/r/e-macs-devel/2013-12/msg00323.html>.

- * configure.ac (EMACS_CONFIGURATION): Escape backslashes.  (Bug#15091)
+ * configure.ac (E-MACS_CONFIGURATION): Escape backslashes.  (Bug#15091)

  * src/editfns.c (format_time_string, Fcurrent_time_zone): Pass a
- pointer to time_t value to emacs_localtime_rz and gmtime_r,
+ pointer to time_t value to e-macs_localtime_rz and gmtime_r,
  instead of relying on struct timespec's tv_sec member to be of
  compatible type.

Thank you.  I don't think we will be changing the way "emacs" is
spelled.
