Good to know, especially since MELPA has apparently decided
to no longer support Emacs Wiki. GIT is fine, but it should
not be regarded as the only way - the be-all and end-all -
for users to distribute and retrieve Emacs libraries/packages.
If `el-get' supports multiple kinds of sources, including
but not limited to GIT archives, so much the better. It's
too bad (IMHO) that MELPA has abandoned such an approach,
but that's OK.
