`make externals` is needed if you want to have a local checkout of all
the packages is elpa.git. But if you don't care about the other
packages you don't need it.

You do need to have some part of elpa.git. For "subtree", that part is the
`master` branch, and for "external" that part is the
`external/<pkgname>` branch. And when adding the external branch you
also need the `master` branch, just to modify the `externals-list` file.

You don't *need* it. You may want to use it (e.g. I use it because
I just want to have all GNU ELPA packages automatically installed, so
I build&install them in-place with `make externals; make`).

Note that this phrase now says:
If you don't know which of these two options you prefer, then use an
"external" (and also if your package is large).
