-      Because the official bazaar repository might be slow, we include an option for
-      pulling HEAD from an unofficial Git mirror:
-
-        brew install emacs --HEAD --use-git-head
-
-      There is inevitably some lag between checkins made to the official Emacs bazaar
-      repository and their appearance on the Savannah mirror. See
-      http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git for the mirror's status. The Emacs
-      devs do not provide support for the git mirror, and they might reject bug
-      reports filed with git version information. Use it at your own risk.

-      Emacs creates an executable `ctags` that stomps on exuberant-ctags. In
-      order to prevent that, we remove `ctags` and its manpage from the emacs
-      build before linking. (Add the flag "--keep-ctags" to keep it.) You can
-      install exuberant-ctags via brew with `brew install ctags`.
-      (exuberant-ctags can provide both vim-style and emacs-style tags.)
