If the per-package out-of-tree stuff is merged, then in most cases, it will no longer be needed to do this rsync, except for packages that don't support out-of-tree build. As far as the actual code goes, I would find it ok that the .git/.svn stuff is not copied. It's pretty big, and 'breaks' only this very specific 'commit ID' thing, so I would tend to agree with Thomas's patch.
