I think adding the git-Org's lisp directory to the load path

    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org/lisp/")

should suffice, provided the lisp files are compiled. In that case a
second line should do:

   (require 'org-install)

But I'm not sure this works. I simply do

   sh$ rm -rf /usr/local/share/emacs/23.50.XX/lisp/org

after upgrading emacs, hence I cannot test it now.



This aspect of the load-path mechanism is not very well documented.
