I believe from experience on a local host that having a precloned tree of for example current upstream linus on jenkins to use with --reference could be a huge win. We can discuss this in the kernel-ci session at connect.
Yes, having a precloned repository on master would help the faster builds. CI Maintainers job https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/view/Linux%20Maintainers/job/linux-maintainers... makes use of this. We have a clone available on master @ http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_git_repo/kernel/linux.git. Please let me know your requirement so that I can make the improvements further if required. Right now you cannot access http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_git_repo/kernel/linux.git as it needs apache restart and I cannot do that instantly as there are jobs running on jenkins . I will fix it as soon as the jenkins have no further jobs running.
