Robert:
OK, I really, really, got it figured out this time...
As you might have noticed from my last three posts, I haven't used git
for a long time, and I forgot all I ever knew about it, which wasn't much.
I finally figured out that I needed to "git checkout branch-5_29" from
within the "master" directory that I just downloaded. After I did that,
I built it and installed it the same as before and then I ran the test
suite.
Notice that it's still identifying itself as Maxima version:
"5.28.0_179_g3ddde46" even though I checked out
the branch-5_29. The "3ddde46" tells me that it is in fact branch-5_29.
There must be a command to change the name, but I don't know what it is.
