multiple parts with same git repo makes build checkout out redundant repos
Metadata
Current evaluation
snapcraft 2.13.1: parts sharing the same git source each get their own checkout instead of a shared cache. No maintainer activity for ~9.5 years; the 2.x series is EOL and modern craft-parts-based snapcraft uses a shared source cache.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue targets snapcraft 2.13.1 (core16-era 2.x), which is no longer supported, and has had zero comments or maintainer interaction for ~9.5 years. The modern craft-parts-based snapcraft shares git source checkouts via a source cache, so the reported per-part redundant checkouts no longer apply to current versions. Confidence is moderate because repo inspection was unavailable to directly confirm the source-cache behavior in code.

close stale | Snapcraft downloads identical Git repositories for separate build parts, causing redundant checkouts. Open with no comments and inactive since 2014. Needs triage to implement shared source caching across parts. |
