Now that the emacs-unicode-2 branch is merged into the trunk, what is
the correct cvs incantation to retrieve the GNU Emacs with XFT support?

Does http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XftGnuEmacs need to be
updated?

I don't claim to know anything, I have tried to make sense of threads on
emacs-devel.  For instance I had some intermittent problem with
outline-mode and Glenn Morris told me to get it from the trunk, I
thought he meant get emacs-unicode-2 from the trunk.

I'm just confused, Peter.  Can you tell me what I should be doing,
getting another copy of emacs-unicode-2 and keeping it up to date?  I
think the confusing part was that I once had an XFT GNU Emacs that had a
version 23.0.0.6 and now it says 23.0.0.1--that's what got me to try to
look into this in the first place, then the outline-mode fontification
issue that I had in the second place.

Unicode Emacs is still version 23.0.0 – sharp (exactly). Each more  
decimal x is a counter for Emacs builds since the last 'make clean'  
or 'make distclean'. This correlates with etc/DOC-<version>.x.  
Running Unicode Emacs 23.0.0.6 means that you (might) have installed  
six different versions of the DOC file – and six emacs binaries in / 
usr/local/bin ...

Now you can understand while you're "back" at version 23.0.0.1.

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.  
We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Yep, thank you--understanding and peace of mind.

The information at the start of that page seems to be correct.

Thank you both for your patience--I've been very busy and trying to
solve (or is it create?) problems when I need to be writing is
frustrating.

Loving GNU Emacs and you guys.
