Correct / best way of loading packages in contrib when using org compiled from git?

Hi

I am using org-mode from git and compile it.

I would like to use the org-notmuch module in the contrib directory, and I activate it using:

 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
 (require 'org-notmuch)

But, as Suvayo pointed out to me, in default.mk it says:

# Define if you want to include some (or all) files from contrib/lisp
# just the filename please (no path prefix, no .el suffix), maybe with globbing
#ORG_ADD_CONTRIB = org-e-* org-md org-export # e.g. the new exporter

So I would have to add

ORG_ADD_CONTRIB = org-notmuch

to the local.mk file

Nevertheless, I would like to stick with a configutration which uses the normal compiled version
and all configurations are in one file (emacs.org), so I would prefer the require... approach.

But I would like to have some clarification, what the differences are between the two approaches
and if (and if yes, why) it would be advisable to use the second approach.

Thanks  lot,

Rainer

PS: I update my git almost daily via the following script:

#############################3
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/.emacs.d/org-mode-git/org-mode

git checkout master
git fetch --tags origin

git pull
git gc

git checkout master

make clean
make
make autoloads
make doc
make info
#############################3
