This doesn't work if we have, for example, foo:1 and foo:2 both using |
| 13 |
the same SCM repository, but different branches. Much as we'd like to |
| 14 |
pretend that everyone uses Git, we can't really ignore this case... |

So we have to decide: do we make the src_fetch copy the data somewhere |
| 17 |
after all, or do we require that eclasses do something obscene to avoid |
| 18 |
this? |
