[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] git: do not execute 'git remote prune'

[Enrico Scholz]

'git remote prune' at this location does not make much sense because
the following 'git remote rm' will prune stale and non-stale branches.

The 'prune' can cause trouble because it will access the network
bypassing the no-network code in bitbake. When this operation fails and
throws an exception, the next command (--> 'git remote rm') will be
skipped.  This in turn, will make all the following operations fail,
because they assume that the remote does not exist yet.
