[bitbake-devel] devtool hardcodes using 'git' patchtool which causes errors

[Adrian Ambrożewicz]

It looks like git:// fetcher option 'subpath' might be good alternative 
designed to address those kind of issues.

Setting:
SRC_URI = '[repopath];subpath=project_dir'
S = '${WORKDIR}/project_dir'
works exactly the same as my previous approach when it comes to 'bitbake 
-c patch [project]'

Unfortunately it looks like devtool ignores that param and clones whole 
repository structure. I'll try fiddling around to implement that support 
in devtool.
