Either use "git subtree add ..." in the master branch of elpa.git or push
it as a new branch named `externals/<pkg>' in elpa.git.
Then adjust the `externals-list' file in the master branch of elpa.git.

The package-release machinery doesn't really pay attention to the
metadata, so if the HEAD has a "Version: 0" no package will be produced,
even if earlier revisions had "Version: <foo>".
So it doesn't require any history rewriting.

Indeed.
