Let me make sure I understand correctly, when I execute the command
offered by Oscar, it will get all the sources going back to 80's. How
are they organized and how do I find out which is a consistent
selection ? Are they organized by incremental diffs ? Take for example
a file like

lisp.h
lisp.c

Suppose there are 5, 50 or 500 files that go to make emacs, actually i
dont have any idea of the size. Then out of the 20 versions of each or
say 20 incremental patches, how does one get the consistent set ?

How much disk space needed by sources and additional for compilation ?

Thanks again.
