We used to do that .. yes. But then the lttng recipe was changed away
from git to using the tgz.

I complained at the time (I'm sure it is in the archives for all to
see), since I'm constantly doing new kernels and have to do this sort
of exercise.

The devupstream bbclass allows me to keep moving on my new kernels
when I need to pick up changes for -dev, and luckily -stable doesn't
normally need this sort of thing.

IIRC it was switched to tgz since things like AUH work better with the
tarballs, but I can't be sure.

But let's just say that I agree that this recipe is better as a branch
based, git recipe and not a tgz based recipe. I just haven't waded
into the discussion to switch it back :)
