If people want a pre-prepared repository propagated to CI
environment and keep trakc of the state of such repository over
time, for example, they can use (versioned) tarballs.  Such a
tarball won't automatically get extracted after "git pull" (which
is a feature), but those who want such a pre-prepared repository
for CI can make the extraction step as a part of their CI build
procedure.
