Feeling the same here now..

How this should work?

is PV at the end typo from PR or do you really mean that srcrev has higher
priority than PV?

All changes are already there. What's new in master is optional support
for forcing that incrementing part to same value across builders, without
local cache synchronization.

And also caching for revs returned when using BB_GIT_CLONE_FOR_SRCREV,
which can improve performance instead of running "git rev-list | wc -l"
with every get_srcrev(d).
