I maintain several arch emacs branches, and some of them are frequently
synchronized with corresponding branches in the emacs CVS tree:

    emacs--cvs-trunk--0         => The normal CVS trunk
    emacs--unicode--0           => The `emacs-unicode-2' branch, which
                                                  will likely become Emacs 22

So it's quite reasonable for someone that wants to track emacs CVS to
use the corresponding arch branch instead, if that's more convenient.

BTW, this branch is actually called `lexbind'.
