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 Óscar to port some
new feature to the other branch: they can ask "git/bzr merge" to do that
job instead.
