That sounds painful. :)

Under clone/ or rawbuild/ (the later is just a collection of symlinks).

When the state of repos changed - all the magic is that bin/g sometimes
touches the clone/repos_changed file and that will trigger a rebuild.

That's because build.git still contains some patches under the patches/
directory which are not in the repos at the moment.

But for development, you can just do './autogen.sh --with-git;
./download; cd rawbuild/; ./autogen.sh; make' - then no build/ dir will
be created. :)
