This page is interesting, will try levinux with vagrant mutate

1) My current issue is that both (fpcup and fpcupdeluxe) seem unable to
use my existing fpc trunk checked out with `git svn clone
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk`. As my connection is quite
slow it interrupted multiple times and I had to `git svn fetch` to
continue. I can't download it again this way and do not trust such
automated tools to be clever enough to deal with it. It would be great
if it would check for a .git directory and use git-svn automatically.

2. However I'd like to use their power to create the cross-tools needed
to release our project. At the end the cross installer will run on OSX
i386 in a travis environment and automatically deploy binaries. Therefor
not the whole history is needed. Which configuration options should I
use in this case?
