I have added the metadata of the branches I know, but have not (yet)
updated those packages to be in sync with the latest commit of
those branches.

I'd suggest you ask the "git subtree" guy why one would work while the
other didn't and why the whole elpa history got carried over to the
split tree.

AFAIK noone committed to that branch (other than yourself, but the
email is not sent to the guy who did the push, since presumably he
knows about those changes already).
