[oe] Bitbaking while modifying recipes

[Ash Charles]

Hi,

At what point in bitbaking a recipe is it safe to start modifying the
recipe without risk of messing up the current bitbake build?  I often
find myself kicking off a bitbake and then wanting to do some git
operations in my openembedded recipes tree.  Previously I've resisted
the urge to mess around until whatever is being bitbaked is done but I
suspect that I'd be fine to make changes as soon as the parse step is
completed.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

Ash
