If the per-package out-of-tree stuff is merged, then in most cases,
it will no longer be needed to do this rsync, except for packages that
don't support out-of-tree build.

As far as the actual code goes, I would find it ok that the .git/.svn
stuff is not copied. It's pretty big, and 'breaks' only this very
specific 'commit ID' thing, so I would tend to agree with Thomas's
patch.
