[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 5/5] fetch2: Avoid recursive errors

[Richard Purdie]

If PATH contains WORKDIR which contains PV which contains SRCPV we can end
up in circular recursion within the fetcher. This code change allows for the recursion
to be broken by giving PV a temporary dummy value in a data store copy.
