This is why I set RECLONE=True and set the *_REPO and *_BRANCH as required
to point to my working repo so re-running stack.sh just does the Right
Thing.  And it still allows short dev cycles in /opt/stack with manual
restartes of the service(s) involved in screen.  But the real work happens
elsewhere, in my case on a different machine.

Remember, DevStack's opinion of your work area is that it is a disposable
VM.  Doing long-term work in a disposable VM is just asking for trouble in
a number of ways.  Sean's local mounts via VBox and my remote git repos are
only two ways to operate in that environment, I'm sure there are many
others.
