X-Debbugs-Cc: philipk@posteo.net From the discussion in bug#64985, Eli mentioned that .elpaignore wasn't documented. (It turns out it's mentioned briefly in the GNU ELPA README, but that's the only place I could find.) Here's a small patch to document this in the Package section of the Emacs Lisp manual. This is just a first pass at documenting this feature, so I'm happy to add further details if anyone thinks it's warranted.
