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.
