Adjust the SOURCE_MIRROR_URL to wherever you want the files.  I also always
add
   BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
This will let the fetcher make a git2_XXX tarball, once the repo has been
cloned.

My understanding is that the git (and other SCM) fetcher works like this:
   * If there is a git2_XXX tar file in the DL_DIR (or mirror), unpack it
     into ${BUILD}/downloads/git2
   * Check to see if the desired ${SRCREV} is present.  If not, do a 'git pull'
     to update the local clone and then rebuild the git2_XXX tarball.
This way, you only have to clone once - just copy any generated tarballs back
to your source mirror.

Finally, if you set
   BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"
the build will fail if bitbake *ever* has to go to the network,

   well, that (sort of) worked so let me summarize for the benefit of
anyone else interested.

   i configured for a new build (beagleboard), and added the following
to the bottom of local.conf:

SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ?= "file:///home/rpjday/dl/"
INHERIT += "own-mirrors"
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
# BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"

   (since i know i'll need to do some downloading, i won't ban network
access, obviously, not for this first run.)

   did a "bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal", then checked my
downloads/ directory for any content that actually got downloaded and
tarball-ed, and found one obvious and sizable download:

... 87770604 2012-03-10 06:45 
gcc-4_6-branch_gcc.gnu.org_.svn.gcc.branches_184847_.tar.gz

   i copied that over to my own mirror dl/ directory, then configured a
whole new build (also beagleboard), added same mirror directives to
local.conf except (of course) banning network access this time, and
once again did

   $ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal

and got something unexpected:

NOTE: package bash-4.2-r1: task do_fetch: Started

Log data follows:

... snip ...

   i can clearly see the problem -- while i have the bash tarball
itself in my own mirror, i don't have the patches to go with it, as
defined in the recipes file:

SRC_URI = "${GNU_MIRROR}/bash/${BPN}-${PV}.tar.gz;name=tarball \

${GNU_MIRROR}/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-001;apply=yes;striplevel=0;name=patch001
 \
${GNU_MIRROR}/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-002;apply=yes;striplevel=0;name=patch002
 \
${GNU_MIRROR}/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-003;apply=yes;striplevel=0;name=patch003
 \
... etc etc ...

   when i went looking for actual downloads in step 1, i just searched
for sizable tarballs or zip files, it never occurred to me to check
for patch files.  so i guess i just have to be more observant and
check for patch files as well (or anything else a recipe might want to
download).

   so far, so good?

I didn't check but this is often the recipe's fault.  It must specify
an exact git SRCREV, not a tag, for the NO_NETWORK to be successful.
