Subject: [Buildroot] SCM management

Hi,
During my work on barebox and the kernel
I modify Buildroot to get the source from my git or the mainline
and found out that we remove the tree everytime and re-clone it
This is time consuming specialy in develeopment when you add new
commit for other user which need to re-checkout your tree.
So I'd like to propose a new way to manage the trees
we could do something like on gentoo
as example with git
we clone a bare tre and store it in dl and do not remove it so if you
need a new version of the tree you just need to fetch it and do not
clone it again
For this purpose I would propose to manage the tree like this in dl
for git as example
builddir/fetch/git-src/${package}
for bzr
builddir/fetch/bzr-src/${package}
and to simplify the scm I would like to propose the manage it not via
makefile rules but via scripts
Best Regards,
J.
