The problem here is that the mirrors are causing problems
now. I don't have (any) access to address this, but if
anyone is block on a local build, feel free to ping me
and I can show you what you can do to get your build
up and running.

I've sent Richard some information resulting from tests
I ran this morning, and that should fixup the fetching for
incremental builds. Purging the mirrors may be a different
question, since in my tests the fetches are returning remote
refs to branches that have been deleted a month ago.
