If I'm not terribly long, you can. Copy the file from url into
emaacs/lisp/url, and in the emacs project, do a tla sync-tree url. That
way, you'll import url's history too. Since the inventory ids were
preserved, this will Just Work(tm).

I recall a similar situation a month or two ago, when tla bash
completion was merged into tlacontrib.

Hope that helps,
