It's a configuration option. If you use
mode="update" then your builds will
re-use the same source directory over and over, if you use
mode="clobber"
then your builds will get a brand new checkout each time,
and if you use
mode="copy" then the source is updated in-place in
one directory, but each
build is performed from a copy of that checkout. Each offers
different
tradeoffs between disk usage, network usage, and which sorts
of Makefile bugs
they are likely to discover.
