the make_spack script currently handles the cloning of spack package repos, but spack 1.0 allows the user to define a package repo in repos.yaml from a github remote and branch name. the user can then run spack repo update to quickly and easily clone package repos and/or pull down new commits. if make_spack writes repos.yaml with this structure natively, then it will be compatible with spack's inbuilt repo management verbs out of the box. i discussed this with @marcmengel on the DUNE slack, and will submit a PR to make this change
