Hi,

I'm trying to implement an odd arrangement for one of the projects that  
utilizes huge git clone of non-ansible artifacts, thus I would like to  
do the following:

1. set up non-Ansible git clone as a Project in AWX with scheduled  
updates. This would "cache" git contents and allow me to bypass all the  
tedious operations on maintaining git clone from within the playbook.

2. setup Ansible project in AWX and somehow allow it to query AWX what  
is the path of (1) and use that path for the tasks at hand

Is such thing possible/reasonable?
