How do you set up cache on a developer's laptop?

The repo directory does not need to be cleaned every time. It can also be
resync'ed from a central repo - which still going to be faster than any
other fetching.
(hopefully sync'ed into the slave /dev/shm btw).

Try to run ovirt-system-tests, clean the repo and re-run - it's 20-30
minutes at least longer - which is far more than what it takes to run the
whole test suite.

I completely agree the manual maintenance is an annoyance, wish we had
something in between.
