Then run `build-zips.sh` in this worktree. Eventually, four new zip

and uploaded with `gnupload`.
For snapshots from Master
-------------------------
Snapshots are generally created from master when there is a release
branch on which a release has already been created. At this point,
only pre-tests or full releases need to happen from the release
branch.
To do this:
Update msys to the latest version with `pacman -Syu`.
Then run build-dep-zips.py, in ~/emacs-build/deps directory. Three
zips will be created, containing the 64bit and 32bit dependencies, as
well as the source for these. These deps files contain the date of
creation in their name. The deps file can be reused as desired, or a
new version created. Where multiple deps files exist, the most
recent will be used.
Now, run `build-zips.sh -s` to build a snapshot release.
For snapshots from a Release Branch
-----------------------------------
Snapshots can be built from a release branch; this is really only
useful before a pre-test has happened.
The process is the same as for building from the master branch, except
that the release branch should already exist as a worktree, and the
version number must be added to the command line with `build-zips.sh
-V 27 -s`. The final zips will be named after the branch rather than
the version (e.g emacs-27-2019-12-26.zip) rather than than the Emacs
version (e.g emacs-27.0.50.zip).
For snapshots from another branch
---------------------------------
Snapshots can be build from any other branch. There is rarely a need
to do this, except where some significant, wide-ranging feature is
being added on a feature branch. In this case, the branch can be
given using `build-zips.sh -b pdumper -s` for example.
