Yes.

There is maybe a little bit of an issue in Yann's current
implementation as he does:

	$(if $($(2)_DOWNLOAD_TRANSIENT),-F) \

so in fact, -F would be passed as soon as <pkg>_DOWNLOAD_TRANSIENT is
non-empty, so <pkg>_DOWNLOAD_TRANSIENT = NO would in fact pass -F.

But this bug already exists for <pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES:

	$(if $($(2)_GIT_SUBMODULES),-r) \

And it is trivial to fix.

Absolutely.
