Sorry for the reply to my own post. I forgot to mention that if
buildroot does softlink to the git repository the clean needs to be
careful not to delete it.  If that is too much trouble then a cp of the
tree in its current state to build dir could be done.  In order to avoid
copying the whole repository and wasting space the .git dir in the
cloned tree should not be copied of course :-)

Anyway, I'm just brainstorming here.  Hopefully it helps, but apologies
if not!
