[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] fetch/gitsm: avoid live submodule fetching during unpack()

[Matt Hoosier]

Although the submodules' histories have been fetched during the
do_fetch() phase, the mechanics used to clone the workdir copy
of the repo haven't been transferring the actual .git/modules
directory from the repo fetched into downloads/ during the
fetch task.

Fix that, and for good measure also explicitly tell Git to avoid
hitting the network during do_unpack() of the submodules.
