I've finally looked at these, apologies for the delay. Some comments: * I don't think we really want the local files to become part of the git repository by default - they shouldn't be committed. Once users have finished with devtool, we want them to be able to push the source tree to their own repo and point to that within the recipe, whilst keeping the local files next to the recipe. * This implies that new files added to the local files dir when we do devtool update-recipe should not be added as a patch, they should be copied next to the recipe and added to SRC_URI. I'm more than happy for us to implement this separately as a follow-up (i.e. we could start by not handling adding files to the local files directory at all.) * The local-files directory needs to be named specific to OE - "oe-local-files" would be ideal. If we could have one place in the code where this was defined that would be ideal as well (maybe at some point we'd allow it to be configured).
