I have tried clean, cleansstate and cleanall.
All of them remove the source directory.

If I try to use XorA's method of testing out the kernel
http://www.xora.org.uk/2009/12/10/openembeddedangstrom-kernel-workflow/
then it fails since a recompile of the source will fail to update 
dependencies.
If i bitbake -c compile virtual/kernel -f a
and then
bitbake virtual/kernel
then the previous build will be used.

Is it at all possible now to recompile, without having to clean out 
everything,
and start from scratch?
