The patch at the CUHK site is for Emacs 21.1.  I'll stop using that
site soon.

The code in the CVS repository is of course the latest version of
Emacs and is currently at version 21.2.50.  It include all the patch
for 21.1 and many new changes and bug fixes.  The CVS is constantly
being updated so one must be able to deal with that variable if one
uses it.  Subscribing to and reading the emacs-devel mailing list
which can be accessed through the web page

  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/

will help a lot.
