My apologies for not acting upon this earlier - I'm coming around to the 
realisation that most people want this feature and won't blame the tool if they 
invoke it when they didn't mean to ;)

Chandana / Manju, overall the patch is good, but could you please make the 
following revisions:

1) Also add the exact same option to devtool finish (since it's the other path 
for recipes leaving the workspace)

2) Add some testing in oe-selftest that verifies that:
(a) it devtool does not delete the source by default (this could be tacked onto 
an existing test) and 
(b) that it does delete it with the option specified (could also be tacked onto 
another existing test if it doesn't adversely affect it).

3) The prefix to the shortlog should be "devtool:" not "standard.py:" - this is 
a more useful functional area description to help identify what's being changed.

Thanks
Paul
