[oe] [RFC] Overlay hosting and mirroring on git.oe.net

[Ken Gilmer]

I'm writing some OE tools and there seems to be some variance in
hardware and distro specific overlays that may not be entirely
necessary.  Additionally I have hesitated to submit most of what I work
on upstream due to the amount of effort to test against stock OE-dev
from Poky-Bug.  So, yes, +1 for this if it reduces unnecessary variance
and making it easier to test packages cross-distro and cross-machine.

thx
