I understand that I need to add the package path into load-path and
"require" it in .emacs.el when I want to use a package that is located
on some directory in the filesystem. But I have used ELPA to install
this package. Are these steps still necessary when using ELPA? Or maybe
for some packages? Because I remember installing magit using ELPA and it
just worked without adding anything to the load-path and without
requiring the package in .emacs.el ...
