As a large number of people used the emacs-unicode-2 branch
out of CVS, I think it might be a good idea to add a warning
to the configure script and Makefiles in the branch, so that
if they update from that branch and build emacs, they'll get
a big fat message telling them they should probably use the
trunk instead.
E.g.
********************************************************************
** **
** The Emacs "emacs-unicode-2" branch has been merged into **
** the CVS trunk, and is now obsolete. You should probably **
** use the CVS trunk instead. **
** **
** To switch a CVS checkout to the trunk, use the command: **
** **
** cvs update -A **
** **
********************************************************************
The configure script is easy, though I'm not exactly sure
which make targets such a thing should be added to...
Any opinions?
Thanks,
-Miles

How about just make configure exit after printing the message above,
that way there's no need worry about the makefiles.

Why not just change Makefile in unicode-2 so that one cannot compile it?
Is there any useful reason to compile that branch any more?

Something like that would sure be nice for people like me, as I recently
built from the branch without knowing better.

I added a warning shortly after I sent that email; did you not see it,
or was your checkout from before then?
