..you want to do a separate "make repo" and a "make clean-repo-too",
and possibly move the repo out of the build/ tree, say, to repo/ or
repos/ if you have multiple repos now or later.

..such extra heavy repo/ etc trees are easily symlinked back into the
build/ tree.

..another tip is run your own lan repo mirror and point REPO = there,
that way you can feed _several_ build boxes cheaply.
