Here are the steps I used to create the new gpr-mode package. Like the
similar ada-mode package, it has no upstream; I indent to only develop
this packge in ELPA. It does have devel and release branches.
$ cd c:/Projects/elpa/
$ git stash
$ git checkout --orphan externals/gpr-mode
$ git rm --cached "*"
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "new package gpr-mode"
$ git checkout -f main
# edit elpa-packages - copy from wisi
$ git commit -m "new package gpr-mode"
$ git push --set-upstream origin externals/gpr-mode
$ make packages/gpr-mode
# copy files, commit
$ cd packages/gpr-mode
$ git checkout -b externals-release/gpr-mode
$ git push --set-upstream origin externals-release/gpr-mode
$ git checkout externals/gpr-mode
$ cd c:/Projects/elpa/
$ git push
$ git stash pop
Is this worth adding in elpa/README? or is this case rare enough that it
will only confuse people?

Maybe a better option is to add a `make fresh/<PKG>` rule that does most
of the above steps for you (at least for non-release branch, and then
a subsequent rule to add a release branch)?

That makes sense.
I'll put it on my list, but since I'm done with new packages for a
while, I won't get to it soon.
