Are you also tired of always having to run
utilities/link-external-sourcecode manually when creating new branch?
Well, you don't have to do it anymore. If you make sure that the
LP_SOURCEDEPS_PATH environment variable is set to something like
~/canonical/launchpad/trunk/sourcecode (where sourcecode contains
populated download-cache and eggs directories), 'make' will
automatically run utilities/link-external-sourcecode
$LP_SOURCEDEPS_PATH/..' for you.

I chose to use LP_SOURCEDEPS_PATH which points to the sourcecode/
directory, since that's what rocketfuel-get uses, so it should be
possible to share the variable between the scripts. If something doesn't
work for you, feel free to fix it!

This landed in r10138.
