This is still a significant headache. Some hand work is needed here.

Emacs uses bzr. A useful introduction to bzr for Emacs developers can
be found [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs][here]]. While I see all the advantages this would have, I
cannot bring myself to switch away from git for my day-to-day work,
because I know git so well, and because git seems to me as being much
more powerful, conceptionally simple (once you have [[http://www.newartisans.com/2008/04/git-from-the-bottom-up.html][bent your head
around it]]), and so much faster.
So the way I have been doing things with Emacs is this:
1. I do not update the version in Emacs too often. Just once every
few month - this is frequently enough for the Emacs release cycle.
Care must be taken to get in a *new and stable* version shortly
before Emacs goes into feature freeze and pretest, because that
version is going to be in the wild for a long time.
2. I watch the Emacs diffs for changes made by the maintainers of
Emacs in the org-mode files in Emacs. Any changes that come up
