I think checking out release modules still needs to be possible. If
that means we need to use a read-only mirror to facilitate this, I'd be
okay with it, but not being able to check out a tree is a pretty bad
regression that I just ran into. For the record, it would make doing
moz security updates much more scriptable as I don't need to rely on
people telling me when their packages need to be added/dropped to the
auto rebuilds.
I think we'd need a new script to enable this. Checking out, editing,
and committing the modules file was responsible for making mass
branching take over two days (rather than ~ 4 hours) two releases ago.
So having a separate mirror for people looking to checkout a release
module is only half of the work... populating it is what we really need
to figure out.
