OK now that I've given a closer look at the linux-yocto recipes &
bbclass I understand better why you need it in that recipe and that
this recipe is heavily based on git's features.

then maybe for the new users testing OE, having PREMIRRORs set in the
default configuration would be a great thing so that they don't believe
OE is a big slow beast just because they have to wait hours for git or
svn to fetch sources.
