Well, actually, if you ensure that git history is tracked (by ensuring
that the first commit for a file in the new location is an exact copy
of the file in its previous location), and if the changes you do have to
make because of the new layout doesn't conflict with the changes you're
merging from master, then sync should be as simple as:
 git checkout elpa-layout
 git merge master
