[OE-core] [meta-oe] protobuf fetch failed

[Måns Zigher]

Hi,

I am using rocko and for some reason the fetch started to fail. The recipe
protobuf_3.4.1.bb

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/google/protobuf.git;branch=3.4.x"

ERROR: protobuf-3.4.1+gitAUTOINC+b04e5cba35-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure
for URL: 'git://github.com/google/protobuf.git;branch=3.4.x'. Unable to
fetch URL from any source.

The strange thing is that I cannot find a branch 3.4.x in the
https://github.com/google/protobuf.

I also noticed that on master you are using 3.5.1 but the same problem
occurs there

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/google/protobuf.git;branch=3.5.x"

which is a branch I cannot find.

What is it that I am missing here?
Would it make sense to use tag instead of branch in the recipe?
