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.
