It contains a version of Emacs that +is able to create frames on multiple display devices and display +types, including multiple tty devices and tty+X combined sessions. +The branch has an enhanced version of emacsclient that is capable of +opening a new Emacs frame on the terminal it runs on. + +Commit access to the multi-tty branch is only available to its +maintainer, Károly LĹ‘rentey (lorentey@elte.hu). The best way to +contribute to the project is to create your own public Arch branch, +and publish your changes there.
