I briefly look at the commit logs of the origin/master branch and pick one that `seems stable'. This means, of course, that when commits hit the tree with a greater frequency than now (a pre-release period) the chance of randomly picking a broken changeset is greater. But I can live with that. Most of the time just merging the latest change of origin/master with my own stuff and building Emacs just works.
