Hi Gary,

I've found that the latest bitbake fetcher changes (require

I have a Fedora 13 machine which I routinely use to build
my Yocto projects that has git version 1.7.7.6. On that machine,
all git fetches fail, no matter what. On my Ubuntu builder
which has git 1.7.9.4, all is OK.
I see that there is a git recipe in OE-core. How can I force
it to be built and used where the host's native git is inadequate?
The solution we provide for this kind of situation is buildtools-tarball, as
described here (linked from the QS guide as well):

Thanks, I'll give this a go.
Interesting that git 1.7.7.6 is still not adequate though, that may be a
prompt to either fix the check to work with older versions of git or
increase our version number requirement.
If you have ideas how I can investigate why this fails, I'd be glad
to help out (to see if it can be made to work with 1.7.7.6 or if we
just need a newer version period)
