I'm happy to clarify or add to those docs. I didn't write them, but I did go through them somewhat recently to better align them with the actual porting/syncing process. With respect to the emacs-sync branch, that page currently says Typically, Org can be synchronized by copying over files from the emacs-sync branch of the Org repository to the master branch of Emacs repository. The emacs-sync branch has a few extra changes compared with the bugfix branch Would you like me to add more details about why the branch exists? How it's managed? Something else? > May we just add > >> +\centerline{For more Emacs documentation, and the \TeX{} source for this >> card, see} >> +\centerline{the Emacs distribution, or {\tt >> https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs}} > > to Org repo? These lines (or rather what became these lines) were added in Emacs's 4af5981dc75 (Add a comment in generated refcards about the source, 2016-11-17). I decided to port that commit to emacs-sync rather than a primary Org branch because I felt it only applied to the Org card distributed as part of the Emacs tree. From my notes [*]: I'm skipping this because it isn't true when the card is from the Org mode repo. However, if you prefer to include those lines in Org's copy, that's fine by me.
