Oh yes, sorry for being unclear. My general thinking is
  tarball=containing sources from back in the past
  git=containing the latest sources (thus saying 'latest')

But I agree that doesn't mean anything in general =)

I should change the scripts to download and build from 
libunistring-latest.tar.gz.

Thanks, yes likely that's it.
The processes/scripts to build libunistring are some years old now and 
mostly automated. So I'd definitely missed changes in HACKING.
