[bitbake-devel] git address in SRC_URI, doesn't works for me

[Chris Larson]

As I already explained, the url scheme determines the tool to be used.
http:// will call wget. git:// will call git. protocol= controls the
underlying protocol it's fetched over. Not that complex. The alternative
would be to reverse them, meaning you'd have to tell bitbake not to use
wget for a http:// uri. Neither will magically know that a given
http://uri is a git repository.
