Actually, to submit a bug report and a test, you definitely do not need to checkout the trunk. So that case might be easier if the tests are placed in their own repository than if they're placed in the Emacs repository, whose `checkout' is known to be problematic for some people. In any case, this issue doesn't matter nearly as much as installing ERT and starting to write actual tests. Stefan
