It is quite clear that ELPA will need some changes on its side to
support this integration.  One such change is to have branches that
roughly correspond to Emacs's 'master' and 'release' branches, because
we would want to have only the stable branches of the ELPA packages to
be visible on the Emacs's release branch.

AFAIU, you can do that in the .gitmodules file.

Not necessarily: we need Git commands to support that in some way in
order to be able to build a release or pretest tarball.
