Could you clarify what you mean by "maintain the Git repository"?
An example would probably work best.

A normal clone of the elpa.git repository will include all the packages,
as before, none of them in `master` or `new-master`, tho: all of them in
externals/[PKGNAME] branches.

    make packages/[PKGNAME]

will bring a specific package into its `packages/[PKGNAME]` subdirectory
(by way of `git worktree`).
