Hello,

I figured out how to make GitHub automatically copy changes of the file 
to another branch when the master branch changes, and have listed the 
file `loopy-dash.el` in the `.elpaignore` file on the master branch.

I successfully installed the packages locally using the instructions in 
the ELPA readme.

I have attached a patch file. Are there any other changes that you would 
like made?

Thank you.
