[OE-core] Obtaining a Complete File Manifest for a Given Recipe

[Terry Boese]

I have a Yocto project which contains multiple modules.  Each module is 
released independently, so I have the problem of trying to identify 
changes in the overall git repository that affect the module being 
released, while pruning the changes that are isolated to the other 
modules.  I could pass an explicit file list to my git log, but at the 
moment I don't know how to get the list of files that affect a given 
recipe.  BBINCLUDED gives me all of the input files for parsing the 
current recipe, but is not recursive to the dependencies, and does not 
provide the list of in-repository files (SRC_URI "file://" entries) that 
can change.  Is there a method currently that will allow me to get the 
file list (or the git history directly)?  If not, what would be the best 
path forward to extend bitbake to add such functionality?
