I take it I'm a bad friend, as I apparently forget about that one
constantly with this list :)

So... from that page, here are my tools:
- `M-x org-version` : if that lists what you think it should via your
git or snapshot... so far so good

- If `M-x list-load-path-shadows` looks like...???... then you're
good. I'm assuming it should look like this:

#+begin_src list-load-path-shadows

~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/ob-latex hides /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/ob-latex
~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/ob-scala hides /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/ob-scala
~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/org-src hides /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/org-src
~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/ob-java hides /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/ob-java

[...]

94 Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found

#+end_src

I'm not sure how many there should be, but they all come from from my
git repo and shadow something in my emacs installation. That still
leaves two possibly redundant questions:

- How do I find out what's *not* shadowed?
- How do I find out how many Lisp load-path shadowings there *should
be* with a correct, non-mixed installation?

Then again, is Worg saying that if `M-x org-version` outputs the
"correct" answer... we're all set and there's nothing to worry about?
In other words, it won't output the correct, git-pointing,
version/path unless *everything* provided by the built-in Org has been
replaced by the snapshot/git version?


Thanks,
John
