Hi Francis,
I cloned the Git repository a while back. The last commit in the
origin/master branch is:
commit c2f9b5857cc50663229ad3ec28608fe615ac9e34
Author: Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
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.''
