Yes, you could create a branch that merges all the bundled packages
(from their separate branches) together,
However, if you then make changes in that merged branch (which we
definitely want to support), it is not simple to propagate them back to
the separate branches; you have to cherry-pick.
Keeping the release branches of bundled ELPA packages in emacs.git is
simpler.
