Not necessarily.  I made a copy of each major Emacs branch before the
transition, and I have them in a git repo (about 600MB).  Checkout tag
'latest-GPLv2-compatible'.  HEAD^ and HEAD~2 are also probably mostly
OK, but I did see at least one s/version 2/version 3/ in a partial
diff.  For fixes since then, you can read the ChangeLog, which often
will tell you enough to localize and fix remaining bugs.

I am now rsyncing a copy to

http://tleeps1.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/repo.mirror/Emacs

This probably takes forever to clone by http, though.  Give it 24
hours and I'll git-pack it by then, which should help.
