PS1:

Thanks for making this! […]

The motivation for this is: "my source tree shouldn't be touched by osmo-dev at all". Also security wise I don't like it can modify my tree.

You need a autoreconf -fi/compile anyway, because the docker and my system might (and are) complete different. This also is a problem, because autoconf have a problem, if I build in-tree. Changing to cmake seems to be much bigger work than this.

Maybe "shallow" is the wrong word. In OpenWrt this feature is call git-src tree override, which allows ignoring the source.tar.gz of a package.

Yes, it doesn't track uncommitted changes, but IMHO, this is ok, as long it is clear.
