This is the current release.  SVN trunk contains quite a few fixes
for various problems (like problem building with recent ECL).
If you are not affected by the problem fixed in trunk, then
I recommend to use 1.2.7.

If you want to create tarball like release tarball from current
trunk this is a bit more complicated:

- fetch sources from SVN
- do full build, including graphics (see INSTALL about building
  graphics)
- use for example 'mkdist.sh' script to create a directory tree
  with prebuilt files
- tar created directory tree

Alternatively, you can try 'make dist' for the last two steps.

I do not see git repo inside.  Could you re-check and tell me
exactly what you see?
