Yes. Section 6(d) allows this. However, you must
provide clear instructions people can follow to obtain
the source, and you must take care to make sure that
the source remains available for as long as you
distribute the object code.
Now if someone distributes unpatched binaries built from Emacs sources
is it then enough to tell from where this sources can be downloaded
and what revision number the checkout had?
That would satisfy the first clause. There is also the second clause:
you must take care to make sure that the source remains available for
as long as you distribute the object code.
