The `elpa-admin.el` file in the `elpa-admin` branch of `elpa.git`, which
is used to build the GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA tarballs also has support
for using those packages "in place":
git clone .../elpa.git; cd elpa; make # Generic setup, done once.
make packages/FOO # Checkout package "FOO"
make packages/BAR # Checkout package "BAR"
make
gives you a directory `.../elpa/packages` which can be added to
`packages-directory-list` so that the packages are installed (from
`package.el`s point of view) straight from their Git worktree.
