The issue is not whether there's an external repository. The issue is about having a separate branch that evolves separately such that it ends up drifting apart. Gnus is a good example: they have an external branch (or even several), but that external branch and the code in Emacs are constantly kept in sync, so they don't need to worry about finding an =D3scar to port some new feature to the other branch: they can ask "git/bzr merge" to do that job instead.
