That is correct. I prefer to clone the auctex devel repo with mercurial,
since I am much more acquainted with mercurial, and therefore it is
easier for me to make a new branch for testing, than it is with git.

I tried out also the repository that I cloned with git and encounter
other problems, since my Emacs-repository-version  is 

"7bf17ceee8c2d347917541e143ce25609e90ebbb"

Even though emacs-version tells me 29.0.50

And therefore too old.

Meaning that I should compile also my mercurial cloned repository, I presume?
