Just so that people can try the builder if they want to. The patches
enhance functions in patman, mostly on the git side, so that the
builder can do its job. For example it needs to clone a repo, checkout
code into a different directory and work with branches a bit more.

This is not a useful patch for any other purpose (e.g. review) - it is
just a lump of code. If there is interest in this it will need to be
turned into proper patches.

Regards,
Simon
