The git recipes are present alongside the other recipes that provide the stable release version(s) of Xen. As Michal has noted above, putting 4.19 for XEN_REL into the git recipe does look right from a Xen source tree perspective for that SRCREV, even though there is not a 4.19 Xen release, but the proposed commit message should be updated to avoid the term "master recipe". Thanks Michal for the update to bring the tools recipe up to the same revision as the hypervisor.
