Actually, to submit a bug report and a test, you definitely do not need
to checkout the trunk.  So that case might be easier if the tests are
placed in their own repository than if they're placed in the Emacs
repository, whose `checkout' is known to be problematic for some people.

In any case, this issue doesn't matter nearly as much as installing ERT
and starting to write actual tests.
