Not really, it's just we need the actual SHA1 to construct ${PV} at parse
time, and if the specified SRCREV is not a SHA1 the git fetcher has no way of
knowing if it refers to a tag or a branch (which may also have changed since
the last parse) until it can contact the repository, so it has to do that
immediately.
Cheers,
Paul
