Hi Gary,

I've found that the latest bitbake fetcher changes (require
the use of branch names) fails with older versions of git.
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):

red-git-tar-and-python-versions>
Thanks, I'll give this a go.
Oops, looks like I have a circular dependency problem since trying to make
the buildtools-tarball actually needs a working version of git??
I don't think it's reasonable to expect to build buildtools-tarball on a
system that isn't capable of building at the moment; you should just download
a prebuilt version as linked from the manual section above *or* build it on
another machine.
Too bad that pointer is only for x86_64 hosts (mine is i386 only)
