I *think* (but hadn't verified) that such support was added on my input to
have the possibility for agents to access a directory from the host in
order to reduce bandwidth. My idea was for a standard osgeo source tree on
agent machines so that we could use, in .drone.yml recipes, a git option "
--reference" to reference existing git repositories, which all of us
developers have already. Doing so would drop the need to download over and
over the source code by agents, which would have most of the code already
available in the mounted volume.

BTW, I guess it would be useful to have a "Drone" component, what do you
think Regina ?
