The last commit in the origin/master branch is: commit c2f9b5857cc50663229ad3ec28608fe615ac9e34 Author: Chong Yidong Date: Sat May 30 00:31:59 2009 +0000 * coding.c (get_translation_table): Check Venable_character_translation. This is sufficiently recent, and I have pulled changesets from this in my personal Mercurial clone. The snapshot of Emacs that I built this morning is: GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386-unknown-freebsd8.0, GTK+ Version 2.16.2) of 2009-06-04 on kobe So, to the best of my knowledge, a short answer is: ``Yes, you can use the git repository to build recent Emacs snapshots.''
