Maybe you can use the first repo as the source, and use the second as
an input, then have a phase to copy the files in place?
You can do something like this in the inputs:
(inputs
`(("second-repo" ,(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri ...)
...))))
and in a phase you could do something like
(with-directory-excursion "some-place"
(invoke "tar" "xf" (assoc-ref inputs "second-repo")))
(or copy if it's not a tar)
HTH!
