Thanks for your bug report.

The instructions to build Emacs from a clone of the repository are in 
INSTALL.REPO, not in INSTALL.  This is explained in the second paragraph 
of the INSTALL file:

For information about building from a Git checkout (rather than an Emacs 
release), read the INSTALL.REPO file first.

The main difference is that you should do "./autogen.sh" before 
"./configure".

Closing.

Hello,

it seems that there is no "configure" script in the git repo but it is 
pointed to from the INSTALL file.

The INSTALL file does point to "./configure" script in bullet "2a". But 
there isn't such a script.

I cloned from git

    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git

No "configure" in the master. I also tried "git checkout emacs-29". No 
"configure" there also.

This is not a support question about how to build. It is a bug report 
about the documentation.

Kind
Christian Buhtz
