Try making your /usr/local/src/emacs/src be what the wiki page calls
emacs, still have trunk as the pristine mirror, and use a branch from
that trunk, called emacs, as your build branch.

Ie, starting from the tar Karl provided, something like:

    # untar it somewhere
    # cd to the top directory created by the untarring
    :; mv .bzr trunk quickfixes /usr/local/src/emacs/src/
    :; cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src/
    :; mv emacs old-emacs
    :; bzr branch trunk emacs

then you can do:

    :; cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src/trunk
    :; bzr pull
    :; cd ../emacs
    :; bzr merge
    # follow the post merge instructions from the wiki page
    :; make <whatever>

to do re-compiles.

All of that should work just as well in elisp as at the shell prompt.
