I meant "build-specific files in common to a project team", e.g patch files.

Perhaps I could write a mod to scripts/apply_patch_series.sh to access
missing patch files mentioned in the series file from the "/opt"
repository - or do an http-get if appropriate.

If there was a hierarchy to the files mentioned in the series file:
1. Check patches directory itself; if not found there ...
2. Check source repository (us. "/opt/..."); if not found there ...
3. Check (and download from) http repository, e.g kernel.org

This would also allow you to locally override project patches.
