Hm, how do I compile this branch without damaging my existing setup ?
ATM I have an unmodified clone of the github master repository with
five shadow directories used to compile Vim with different
configuration parameters in each.¹ I set my configuration by means of
environment variables and in each shadow directory (src/shadow-*/) the
Makefile is a symlink to ../Makefile rather than a copy, so any
changes in the upstream src/Makefile are taken up automagically in all
"shadows".

Shall I have to clone the source separately from the URL you gave
above and compile it under a modified executable name (let's say
vim-dezza with a symlink gvim-dezza pointing to it) to avoid a clash
with my "usual" Vim ?

Best regards,
Tony.

Note 1. Configurations defined (with the executable names quoted) :
• "vim-huge": Huge GTK3 with Terminal and as many interpreted
languages as I could find
• "vim": Huge GTK3 with no Terminal and no interpreted languages (this
is what I normally use)
• "vim-normal": Normal with Motif
• "vim-small": Tiny with Motif
• "vi": Tiny with no GUI
