Where did emacs/elpa come from? I don't think we ever discussed such a
beast, and I don't understand what it is and what it will contain.

That's a the question I can answer, because I have no clear idea what
is included in those 200MB, and in particular how much of that is
ballast we don't need for the purposes of maintaining Emacs and
building its development versions. Maybe if you explained why
splitting ELPA into several repositories would save some of that disk
space, I could then try answering the question.

I think we should first find a way to have a single worktree with all
the bundled packages that come from ELPA. How to have several
worktrees from that is something we should consider later.
