Builds reference dependent builds referenced by path. If that path doesn't exist, it may be cloned from a Git repository specified in the build.irk file. But we often need to work on a local version of a repository with local changes. This support should be provided by a .forks file which specifies local directories containing remote repositories.
Each line in the file should be a whitespace-delimited repo/path pair. Crucially, the .forks file should not be checked into Git.
