People can (and do) commit changes directly to `emacs.git`s `master`
branch and the above would silently revert such changes. It also means
that the Magit files in `emacs.git` don't get a proper commit log
history, making it harder to track down and fix bugs.
I'm all for including more packages in Emacs, but not by copying them
into the `master` branch `emacs.git`. I'd rather have a Git submodule
or some such mechanism.
