Nonsense!

As we do not have  julia-mode.el in our git,
of course it must be downloaded separately.

I'm sure there is a smart  git  trick to do something like a
"symbolic" cross-repository link ... to have our
  ess/lisp/julia-mode.el  "point to"
either
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaLang/julia-emacs/master/julia-mode.el
or
  https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs/blob/master/julia-mode.el

but I did prefer 'make' over git tricks because I know the
former much better.

Of course we are probably happy to change ...
