I think this is down to poor i/o performance, which would
be expected with usb2. Things like git are really, *really* 
slow over usb2. You'll end up with problems that have
rw errors and timeouts as the ultimate cause.

The way I'd try to overcome the issue is to have
a reasonably quick freebsd nfs server. The NIC on rpi2/3
was quick enough for nfs client IIRC. Share the nfs
with your rpi2 machines. I'd have the following
on nfs:

/usr/ports /usr/obj /usr/src /var/cache

Later, maybe later today, I'll configure a spare rpi2b in
this way.
