Right now we have the a Git repository called "leaf" with the following structure:

leaf/
    bering-uclibc4/
        buildtool/
            files...
        source/
            files...

It does not seem possible to git-clone just part of a repository, so all of the source files get downloaded when initializing the build environment. Then they all get downloaded again into buildtool/sources/, and get built from there. That doesn't seem very efficient. Should we consider having more than one Git "repository", one for buildtool and another for sources?
