5.6.2. Minimum Git version

The minimum Git version required on the build host is now 1.7.8 because the ‐‐list option is now required by BitBake's Git fetcher. As always, if your host distribution does not provide a version of Git that meets this requirement, you can use the buildtools-tarball that does. See the "Required Git, tar, and Python Versions" section for more information.
