While going through the backlog I ran across the 'git' versions of the user space. I noticed that a recent contribution was adding a patch to the git recipe and I figured that this patch would already be upstream and so wouldn't be necessary. Not so. The 'git' versions have SRCREV hard wired (SRCREV) to a commit id but it's way back from the end of 2013. They're also disabled via DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1"
These 'git' versions seem super useful for testing bleeding edge stuff so IMHO keeping them around would be the right thing to do. Not sure how I feel about them tracking an ancient commit though. Since they're never built by default it seems reasonable to track the master branch. What's our philosophy w/r to recipes that pull from git? Is there some history behind this SRCREV?
