I believe it is.

If you're performing a "git fetch" over all your repositories the
output doesn't make sense because the script will say:

"Building mesa module component mesa..."

But you're not building mesa/mesa, you're doing a "git fetch" on
mesa/mesa. As part of my testing I kept seeing the script say:
"Building X/Y" and felt it would be confusing to users to have a
script aways say it is building everything when in fact nothing is
being built.
