Down to one failure now after merging features/component-tests

Changes not staged for commit:

  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)

	modified:   tests/component/rpm/data (untracked content)

cd tests/component/rpm/data/

HEAD detached at 09a446d
Untracked files:

	gbp_TestGbpRpm_smDdsW/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Adding gbp_* to .gitignore in that repo would fix this.

A lot of it is copied from my previous 'bootstrap.py' from the same repository. I specifically wrote it independently, in order to cut the circular dependency between the data repository and gbp api. The amount of overlapping code is not that big IMO, although there is more than I probably anticipated, initially. We can revisit this later, if needed.

Mostly misreading the code on my end too early in the morning. I'll have
to run the performance tests to see if git_archive_submodules regresses
once merged but that should be about it.
