   Those aren't versioned. make pull will update them though.

   @bktan8 I am thinking that the common tooling should support doing a "fetch" operation to retrieve the latest state of common, autospec, etc and possibly all package repos.

   A new command like make versionstatus could then compare the state of the local repos with the remote repos.

   Let's say you ran a make pull at some point, then two weeks later, you want to know how far behind you are. Then perhaps you could do:

   $ make versionstatus
   *** Repos up-to-date. Run make fetch [REPO=<name>] to retrieve latest repo state
   $ make fetch REPO=projects/common
   $ make versionstatus
   projects/common is 45 commits behind
   $ make pull-projects/common
   ...
   

   Maybe a versiondiff command would also be helpful to inspect the diff between local and remote branches?
