git with reference

[l.th...@gmail.com]

Can gclient use references like repo:

   "The --reference option can be used to point to a directory that

   has the content of a --mirror sync. This will make the working

   directory use as much data as possible from the local reference

   directory when fetching from the server. This will make the sync

   go a lot faster by reducing data traffic on the network."

It takes a very long time to download the chromium code base and if gclient could use existing git repos to download the code, that would be awesome.
