I often end up doing development on the same distribution for multiple projects and have long wished for a simple way to share the same clone/checkout between these multiple buildouts.
What would you think about supporting a shared sources directory much in the same vein of zc.buildout's use of eggs-directory, zc.recipe.cmmi's use of download-cache, and plone.recipe.zope2install's use of zope-directory all of which can be set in the users ~/.buildout/default.cfg? If the option is set, we could do the clone/checkout into the shared sources directory and then symlink them into sources-dir. Thoughts?
