> +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> +The +POST_RSYNC+ hook is run only for packages that use a local source,
> +either through the +local+ site method or the +OVERRIDE_SRCDIR+
> +mechanism. In this case, package sources are copied using +rsync+ from
> +the local location into the buildroot build directory. The +rsync+
> +command does not copy all files from the source directory, though.
> +Files belonging to a version control system, like the directories
> ++.git+, +.hg+, etc. are not copied. For most packages this is
> +sufficient, but a given package can perform additional actions using
> +the +POST_RSYNC+ hook.
> +
> +In principle, the hook can contain any command you want. One specific
> +use case, though, is the intentional copying of the version control
> +directory using +rsync+. The +rsync+ command you use in the hook can,
> among
> +others, use the following variables:
> +
> +* +$(SRCDIR)+: the path to the overridden source directory
> +* +$(@D)+: the path to the build directory
