My top level understanding was the security update was suggesting to avoid

doing what we were doing already i.e. calling git from

a sub-process through a recipe due to security concerns and so avoided
using git

and also I think below change also achieves same what was achieved
before with SRCREV, I have

similar fix on the kernel bb too which was failing with same error.
