I've just tried 'git subtree push --prefix=packages/js2-mode <upstream 
repo>', and it didn't work, saying because the push wouldn't be 
fast-forward (which it should be).

Doing 'git subtree split --prefix=<...> -b js2-mode && git co js2-mode' 
showed the history from the old elpa branch, plus your last two commits 
that touched this dir.

Similarly, plain 'git log -- packages/js2-mode' shows the old history, 
and does not include the commits from the upstream repo.

Then I did 'git subtree pull --prefix=packages/js2-mode <upstream>', it 
succeeded, 'git subtree push' still didn't work after that, but 'git 
subtree split ... -b js2-mode' followed by 'git co js2-mode' and 'git 
push' succeeded, pushing the whole damn elpa history to 
git@github.com:mooz/js2-mode.git.

Clearly, there's something wrong with the current configuration.

Further, I'm still not receiving notifications for commits made in 
elpa/packages/js2-mode. Should I explicitly add a "Maintainer:" header?
