It seems that bitbake is trying to run "git fetch" without having
previously cloned.  That must mean that either bitbake is under the
erroneous impression that clone has already been run, or that it has
indeed been run but that it failed without bitbake noticing.

Have you tried cleaning out your ${GITDIR}?
