Re-adding oe-core again.

How can git know that you're the original author of the patch and didn't
just copy/paste?  How can git know that you've hacked a workaround, or
backported a fix from upstream?

I'm fine with a small barrier to contributions when it means that in five
years time I'm not scratching my head at a patch with lost history, no
comments, no ownership, no indication whether it's a workaround or should
be sent upstream, wondering what it was meant to do.

There are still plenty of patches like that in oe-core, where the history
disappears into BitKeeper repositories that nobody has anymore.
