I'd much rather have you on Emacs 23 and do your testing there.  After  
all,
23.1 has been released one year ago, and it fixes sooooo many things,  
everyone
should upgrade.  I think there is no reason to use Emacs 22 anymore at  
all.
You write about "using a git snapshot".  If you do that you will  
actually
be testing Emacs 24.  Emacs 23 should be considered finised and stable.
