as for buildbot, i haven't looked at its design but from the chatter i've seen i was under the impression that it operates on a continually updated sandbox rather than a 100% fresh checkout for each build?
It's a configuration option. If you use mode="update" then your builds will re-use the same source directory over and over, if you use mode="clobber" then your builds will get a brand new checkout each time, and if you use mode="copy" then the source is updated in-place in one directory, but each build is performed from a copy of that checkout. Each offers different tradeoffs between disk usage, network usage, and which sorts of Makefile bugs they are likely to discover.
cheers, -Brian (Buildbot author)
