Umm, hmm - &> is perfectly valid shell - used for redirecting both
stdout and stderr simultaneously:
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Redirections
http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_5.html#SEC57
Also - why is there an empty src/sizzle directory? That shouldn't be
there to begin with (it isn't in git, it's only created when the clone
occurs). Deleting it isn't really desired since that would do a
complete, fresh, clone every single time a build is done (rather than
just a pull).
We're intentionally not using git submodules because the submodules
need to be constantly re-synced with the HEAD of the other project (we
tried to use them and it caused annoying synchronization issues
between the projects).
