A word of warning: this only works as long as the user doesn't install magit-popup explicitly; if they do that, they will get the incompatible version. Actually, Emacs will try to install both versions simultaneously. That's impossible, so I'm not sure what will happen.

I've accepted this because melpaPackages already has similar overrides in a few other places:

inherit (self.melpaPackages) powerline;

inherit (self.melpaPackages) easy-kill;

inherit (self.melpaPackages) ess ctable popup;

You were right to; this is the best we can do for now!

I've experimented with that scenario, and it appears that the older incompatible version wins out. It effectively just negates this workaround, I think.
