bug#45345: [elpa-archive] "make build/<package>" should not pull unconditionally

Could you give some detail about the situation in which doing `git pull`
was a problem for you?

I mean, obviously I could just move that call to
`elpaa--external-package-sync` elsewhere, but `elpaa--make-one-package'
is supposed to make packages from *commits* (it normally makes two
packages, one from the head of the branch and another from the last
commit that changed `Version:` line) so it "inherently" moves between
different commits.
