Last question! (I hope.) If I specify an Elpa package as a :subtree, is this a subtree in the sense of the actual "git subtree" command, or is this just a subtree merge? After I've added my Github upstream as a remote in elpa, and fetched its branches locally, am I running this: git subtree add --prefix packages/gnorb gnorb-remote master --squash or this: git checkout -b gnorb-branch gnorb-remote/master git read-tree --prefix=packages/gnorb -u gnorb-branch Time spent googling "git subtree" indicated that those were the two likely possibilities. Thanks for your patience, and hopefully I can give a little something back, with a documentation patch for those of us who don't know git all that well. Eric
