For getting the sources, the only thing you need is:

1. Install a recent version of bzr. Anything from version 2.0 is ok. If
you are using a recent GNU/Linux distribution it is very likely that you
can install it as any other application. If you are using Windows or an
old GNU/Linux distribution download bzr from:

http://bazaar.canonical.com

2. Once bzr is installed, execute this command from the command line:

bzr clone http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/ emacs

Now, you have Emacs' sources on the "emacs" subdirectory.
