It definitly sounds like I want to do that... well I definitly
want to do that for the automated build process that clones
all the repos and builds (I'm assuming an export will cut down
build time significantly).... one problem... how can I do a:
     bk export bk://server:9901/INTEGRATION_REPOSITORY

export only seems to want to work on your local repository
(which is already cloned, *doh*)
