The Git source step creates a local clone on first run, in the builddir 
parameter you specify when confuguring a builder. The build dirs are 
located in the build slave's directory-

Look at the documentation on BuildFactory (6.3.2 in 0.7.9) and modify 
accordingly:

f = factory.BuildFactory()
f.addStep(source.Git(repourl="git://myserver/myrepo", mode="update"))
f.addStep(...)

b1 = {'name': "",
       'slavename': "slave1",
       'builddir': "build",
       'factory': f,
       }
c['builders'] = [ b1 ]
