Is it possible to have a consuming application merge an in-repo addon’s package.json with the applications package.json? I’m sharing the in-repo addon between many of the company’s ember applications using a submodule and it’d be nice to not have to add all the dependencies for the addon to each consuming application.

Atomkirk - you mentioned you’re using in-repo addon to share between apps at your company. Are all of the apps in a single git repo, or is there some method you are using to copy between repos?

Each is in its own repo and we use git submodules for shared code.
