Hi Phillip!

I see you've pushed a new omn-mode in externals/omn-mode, but for such
an "external" branch to be "active" you need to add it to the
"externals-list" file.  If you do this, you may soon find that there's
already a "packages/omn-mode" subdirectory, since omn-mode was
originally installed as a "subtree" rather than as an "external".
For such a simple mode, we've usually used a "subtree" so far, but if
you prefer an "external", you can just remove the "packages/omn-mode"
subdirectory from the "master" branch, and add ("omn-mode" :external
nil) to the "externals-list" file.

Oh dear. I thought I had completed the move to an external ages ago, but
you are correct, I hadn't finished.

We discussed this a while back; the ELPA master branch workflow does not
work for me terribly well, as I end up with a large repo with many
files in my emacs devel space. I sync all of my machines with unison,
and this adds considerably to the sync time which is irritating when I
only need a couple of 20k files from that space. As an external, I can
checkout a single branch, problem goes away (at least that was the
plan -- it hasn't quite worked out).

I know I should not re-iterate the argument but for me the MELPA
workflow of maintaining a repo of metadata and distributing the source
works much more cleanly. Now that I have re-iterated it, I promise not
to contribute to another big thread defending my position.

Phil
