When fetching source from a Git repository using
SRC_URI
,
BitBake will now validate the
SRCREV
value against the branch.
You can specify the branch using the following form:
SRC_URI = "git://server.name/repository;branch=<branchname>"
If you do not specify a branch, BitBake looks in the default "master" branch.
Alternatively, if you need to bypass this check (e.g.
if you are fetching a revision corresponding to a tag that
is not on any branch), you can add ";nobranch=1" to
the end of the URL within SRC_URI
.
