I'd use `append' to avoid odd corner cases (e.g. if you load your .emacs
several times).  But other than that, it should work.

It's a bit unusual, but nowhere near strange.  It's one of the most common
ways to track an external CVS branch in a local branch (using either
Mercurial, Arch, Monotone, Git, ...).
