Note INSTALL does already say, right near the top:
"""
For information about building from a Bazaar checkout
(rather than a release), also read the file INSTALL.BZR.
"""
Now, there's a small technical issue that "checkout" means something (or
two things) specific in bzr jargon - heavyweight checkout / bound branch
or lightweight checkout, so AFAIUI it's perfectly feasible to build
emacs from a local bzr branch that isn't a checkout in bzr terms, but
that's probably overly pedantic.
People who get their emacs sources from some unofficial git repository
or something might conceivably think "oh, but I didn't use bzr or a
release", but I don't think emacs can be responsible for such things -
bzr is the current official VCS, for better or worse.
