[julia-users] Adding Julia package to METADATA.jl

[Samuel S. Watson]

I have a package I put on GitHub that I'd like to request be added to 
METADATA.jl. My understanding is that I'm supposed to fork 
JuliaLang/METADATA.jl, add my package, and then submit a pull request. My 
problem is with the add-my-package step. When I try to push from my package 
directory, it creates a completely separate branch called master. I could 
re-create all the files using the browser interface, but it would seem more 
principled to move the existing git repository into sswatson/METADATA.jl. 
How is this supposed to work?
