The "current sources" is generally going to be one of the repo tip revisions
packaged into a tarball by a release manager. This is not a VCS operation.
If you clone the repo, you get the entire history -- the entire DAG of
revisions. Technically speaking, there is no "trunk", no distinguished
branch that VCS operations treat specially. If you do an update without
specifying a release or branch name, you simply get the latest
sequential revision.
Socially, the "trunk" is probably the branch the last release tarball
was taken from. Some of these systems support named branches. When
that's so, you can label a branch "trunk" if you like.
