Hi Brian,

	First - it seems that the issue here was entirely bogus, not least
because we had a bug with re-writing these makefiles as we checked them
in; so hopefully only 2 issues pending ;-)

	Anyhow - I tried your kind advice:

	Sounds like just what I need. Unfortunately, it didn't clone some of
the pieces I needed; eg. other configured remotes, I ended up with just
'origin' - which was unexpected (and less wonderful than cp -lR ;-).

	Is that a feature ?

	Thanks,
