Robert Collins	79ca4d901c	Cache repository-sources data. ... Cloning large repositories over the internet can take considerable time. Caching them locally makes repeated image builds significantly faster, so lets do that. When users override the element source they will often be using a local repository, so in those cases I don't cache - but we could easily change our minds on that in the future.

Derek Higgins	ef2aa6e8a1	Adding element to get source for elements. ... Fixes bug 1184943 Adding an element that allows other elements to register repositories it would like to be retrieved for it. Doing this outside of the chroot allows locally cached repositories to be used. It also gives the ability to d-i-b to specify what revision to use if an alternative to the most recent is required. Effectively allowing a CI system to test d-i-b and elements without being effected by unavailable git repositories or breakages in actively developed source code being used by the elements.
