The README says "The file INSTALL in this directory says how to build and install GNU Emacs on various systems, once you have unpacked or checked out the entire Emacs file tree." The above is incomplete and users are given just one aspect. Instead README should explain that there are two installation mechanisms, using a "Release Tarball" or using a "Snapshot Repository". The file INSTALL describes how to build and install emacs from a tarball, w= hilst INSTALL-REPO explains how to build and install using a repository.=20 Easy, to the point, and the information is provided instantly.
