[oe] gitver problems

[Cliff Brake]

Hello,

I'm trying to put together some examples of using srctree/gitver, and
running into a few issues.

My example is in a bitbake overlay:

git://git.bec-systems.com/openembedded.custom
http://cgit.bec-systems.com/cgit.cgi/openembedded.custom/

This overlay includes a submodule for:

git://git.bec-systems.com/openembedded.custom
http://cgit.bec-systems.com/cgit.cgi/autotools-demo/

and a recipe to build the above submodule:

http://cgit.bec-systems.com/cgit.cgi/openembedded.custom/tree/recipes/autotools-demo/autotools-demo.bb

===================
# recipe to build the ics-test-app in the working tree

inherit srctree gitver autotools

PV = "${GITVER}"
S = "${OEDIR}/openembedded.custom/work/autotools-demo"
==================


When I try 'bitbake autotools-demo', I get the following:

cbrake at happy:/scratch/oe/oe-build/oe$ bitbake autotools-demo

Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong with gitver?

Thanks,
Cliff
