Or use shelves; or rebase; or do something else.  See the thread for
yet another fun excursion into the exciting world of version control.

* How to merge changes from emacs-23 to trunk

The following description uses bound branches, presumably it works in
a similar way with unbound ones.

* Installing changes from gnulib
Some of the files in Emacs are copied from gnulib.  To synchronize
these files from the version of gnulib that you have checked out into
a sibling directory of your branch, type "make sync-from-gnulib"; this
will check out the latest version of gnulib if there is no sibling
directory already.  It is a good idea to run "bzr status" afterwards,
so that if a gnulib module added a file, you can record the new file
using "bzr add".  After synchronizing from gnulib, do a "make" in the
usual way.

To change the set of gnulib modules, change the GNULIB_MODULES
variable in the top-level Makefile.in, and then run:

  ./config.status
  make sync-from-gnulib
  bzr status

The last command will mention files that may need to be added using
"bzr add".  If you remove a gnulib module, or if a gnulib module
removes a file, then remove the corresponding files by hand.
