if you want it to explode then you can use:

diff --git a/conf/bitbake.conf b/conf/bitbake.conf
index c1a65e2c..f7a876d 100644
--- a/conf/bitbake.conf
+++ b/conf/bitbake.conf
@@ -579,7 +579,7 @@ UPDATECOMMAND = "ERROR, this must be a BitBake bug"
 UPDATECOMMAND_cvs = "/usr/bin/env 'PATH=${PATH}' cvs -d${CVSROOT} update -d -P ${CVSCOOPTS}"
 UPDATECOMMAND_svn = "/usr/bin/env svn update --non-interactive --trust-server-cert --force --accept theirs-full ${SVNCOOPTS}"
 SRCDATE = "${DATE}"
-SRCREV = "1"
+SRCREV = "INVALID"
 SRCPV = "${@bb.fetch.get_srcrev(d)}"
 AUTOREV = "${SRCPV}"

problem is that you'll get lots of

even for recipes not in your target RDEPENDS..
