Multiple copy of Synfig repository

[BobSynfig]

In /docker-builder-data/build/packet/
In both debian-64-native and linux-64
There are multiple copies of Synfig repository
(as synfigetl-master, synfigcore-master and synfigstudio-master)
Wouldn't it be possible to use only one copy for all?
They consume currently 167MB each on disk at the moment!

Unfortunately, this is an architecture limitation of our build system. Though, after implementing synfig/synfig#703 the copies from "debian-64-native" will go away.
The "perfectly clean" solution is can be achieved with implementation of synfig/synfig#666.

In our plans to use same folder for etl, core and studio We need to refactor Synfig build configurations. I hope what merging "native" and "debian" (target OS) in build system will not necessery. "Native" uses for build-time packages only. It this case, native synfig uses to render icons from files sif/sifz Also we may to commit pre-rendered icons, but i dislike it. I prefer sources stays a sources, and i'm sure that downloaded program is truly open (IMHO). We may provide prerendered icons in release sources tarball.

Also we may to commit pre-rendered icons

This is what synfig/synfig#703 is about ^__^
We will surely keep icon sources, but will provide pre-rendered versions to allow building without native synfig.

I prefer a clean build. Existence of prebuilt data in directory makes me sad.

For git repos retrievals, we could use --depth 1, I didn't find it wit a grep in the scripts.
We don't really need to work with full copies of repos, it would spare some space ^^

In some situations (like here - 634afd3) we need a particular commit from repo. It can be outside of "depth" value.

For synfig repos this can be an option. ^__^
