</div></div>Regardless of whether you use mirrors or not, if you set<br>
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS it will create tarballs in DL_DIR of the git<br>
repositories. You can then stop trying to check in the /git/ and /git2/<br>
subdirectories of DL_DIR and some of your problems will likely go away.<br>
<br>
The reason this is not enabled by default is for performance reasons.<br>
