-NOTES ON THE EMACS PACKAGE ARCHIVE
-
-The GNU Emacs package archive, at elpa.gnu.org, is managed using a Git
-repository named "elpa", hosted on Savannah.  To check it out:
-
-  git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa
-  cd elpa
-  make setup
-
-That leaves the elpa/packages directory empty; you must check out the
-ones you want.
-
-If you wish to check out all the packages into the packages directory,
-you can run the command:
-
-   make worktrees
-
-You can check out a specific package <pkgname> into the packages
-directory with:
-
-   make packages/<pkgname>
-
-
-Changes to this repository propagate to elpa.gnu.org via a
-"deployment" script run daily.  This script generates the content
-visible at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages.
-
-A new package is released as soon as the "version number" of that
-package is changed.  So you can use 'elpa' to work on a package
-without fear of releasing those changes prematurely.  And once the
-code is ready, just bump the version number to make a new release of
-the package.
-
-It is easy to use the elpa branch to deploy a "local" copy of the
-package archive.  For details, see the README file in the elpa branch.

+# NOTES ON THE EMACS PACKAGE ARCHIVE
+
+The Emacs package archives at `elpa.gnu.org` (GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA)
+are managed using two Git repositories named `gnu.git` and `nongnu.git`
+hosted in the `elpa` group on Savannah.
+To check them out:
+
+    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/elpa/gnu.git
+    cd gnu
+    make setup
+
+resp.
+
+    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/elpa/nongnu.git
+    cd nongnu
+    make setup
+
+That leaves the `(non)gnu/packages` directory empty; you must check out the
+ones you want.
+
+If you wish to check out all the packages into the packages directory,
+you can run the command:
+
+    make worktrees
+
+You can check out a specific package <pkgname> into the packages
+directory with:
+
+    make packages/<pkgname>
+
+Changes to this repository propagate to `elpa.gnu.org` via a
+"deployment" script run daily.  This script generates the content
+visible at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages and https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu
+
+A new package is released as soon as the "version number" of that
+package is changed (as found in the `;; Version:` header of the main
+ELisp file of the package).  So you can use `elpa/(non)gnu.git` to work
+on a package without fear of releasing those changes prematurely.
+And once the code is ready, just bump the version number to make a new
+release of the package.
+
+It is easy to use these repositories to deploy a "local" copy of the
+package archive.  For details, see the README file after cloning them.
