New ELPA package: transient-cycles

[Sean Whitton]

Hello,

I would like to add my package transient-cycles to GNU ELPA:
<https://git.spwhitton.name/dotfiles/tree/.emacs.d/site-lisp/transient-cycles.el>.

The package does not have a git repository of its own.  For several
reasons I would prefer to keep it that way, and manually sync new
versions to elpa.git.  So I believe what I need to do to elpa.git is add
the line

     ("transient-cycles"    :url nil)

to elpa-packages, and push a new branch externals/transient-cycles
containing the single file transient-cycles.el.  And then the scripts
should be able to extract the commentary and changelog.  Is that right?

Here is the beginning of the package description:

> Many commands can be conceptualised as selecting an item from an
> ordered list or ring.  Sometimes after running such a command, you
> find that the item selected is not the one you would have preferred,
> but the preferred item is nearby in the list.  If the command has been
> augmented with transient cycling, then it finishes by setting a
> transient map with keys to move backwards and forwards in the list of
> items, so you can select a nearby item instead of the one the command
> selected.  From the point of view of commands subsequent to the
> deactivation of the transient map, it is as though the first command
> actually selected the nearby item, not the one it really selected.
