Wrong problem, better eliminate the need for repeated checkouts rather than
optimize them.  

The core thing to do would be to adopt a mechanism like configure where
build and source directories are strictly separated.  This would avoid 99%
of the problems of having to do a fresh checkout for automated builds, and
also be a great asset in crossbuilding.
