How to reuse downloaded rosdistro repo in bloom-release?

When I do new releases of my packages, one of the longest taking phases is cloning the rosdistro repo over and over.

How can I tell bloom-release the path to a locally cloned repo which it'd use instead of cloning?

Another way to speed up the process would be to make only a shallow clone of the repo, which should be also IMO ok.

Can I achieve one of the two improvements with existing bloom?

Bloom doesn't currently have the ability to use an existing clone of rosdistro. But if you were interested you could implement the feature and contribute a pull request. There was a pull request to use shallow clones but the shallow clone couldn't be used to push local changes upstream so that approach was abandoned https://github.com/ros-infrastructure...

Opening the pull request without a local clone using the GitHub repository content API would also be an efficient way to push the updates but it would need to be implemented as GitHub-specific behavior. Then again, the pull request creation behavior is GitHub-specific already so that may not preset a challenge at all.
