Steps to take before starting on the first pretest in any release sequence:
0. The release branch (e.g. emacs-24) should already have been made
0. The release branch (e.g. emacs-25) should already have been made
and you should use it for all that follows. Diffs from this
branch should be going to the emacs-diffs mailing list.

1. git pull # fetch from the repository
git status # check for locally modified files
Ensure that you have a clean, unmodified state.
If you switched in-place from another branch to the release branch,
there could be inappropriate generated ignored files left over.
You might want to use "git status --ignored" to check for such files,
or some form of "git clean -x". It's probably simpler and safer to
make a new working directory exclusively for the release branch.
2. Regenerate the etc/AUTHORS file:
M-: (require 'authors) RET
M-x authors RET
