If an user does not understand that git pull does not updates, and that git
log does report 26 september, how may he know that the git server is at
openenembedded? it would report problems to openmoko, or fso!
Peoples are asking here because they read git.openembedded.net in the
Makefile, someone know that you are migrating to git, so it's normal to
think that the git server at openembedded should work!
The *only* problem is that the git server is a test installation as you may
only derive from the wiki!
So you may be gentle with peoples and update the oe wiki saying that using
git is unsupported, so makefile authors may decide to not use it just now,
and use it later!
