Right, if you just pass a URL, then package-vc has no metadata. But
since org-transclusion is on ELPA, you can invoke it like this:
(package-vc-install 'org-transclusion)
then it should re-use the package specification that GNU ELPA provides.
If you invoke package-vc-install interactively, it would also prompt you
with this package name.
That being said, I just tried it out and it seems that it still doesn't
work because of a discrepancy between the package specification on ELPA
that mentions docs/org-transclusion.org to be the documentation file
(org-transclusion :url "https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion"
:make "org-transclusion.org"
:doc "docs/org-transclusion.org"
:readme "README.org")
and as you say the fact that the actual manual lies in
docs/org-transclusion-manual.org. But this is an issue that should
either be fixed in ELPA if the maintainer wishes this file to be used,
or upstream if this is a mistake.
