For our b2g tree you should be able to rsync the .repo tree (which essentially contains all of the .git trees for the various repositories). You can also copy a .repo tree from somebody else. I've done this at home to copy the tree between 2 machines on a wired network. Just out of curiosity, I create a gzipped compressed tarball of my .repo directory. It's about 12 gigabytes. Once you get one tree on your machine, if you want to create a second tree, you can just copy .repo file from one tree to the other and this will save you alot of download time. Once you've got the .repo, then run config.sh and it won't download as much stuff.
