[oe] problem with fetching u-boot git and bitbake git fetch debugging

[Michael Lippautz]

I assume you merge [1] into org.oe.dev tree and tried to build that.

You should comment that line in, telling OE that it can assume some u-boot, so
doesn't try to build it. (It is commented in the archos default configuration.)

Otherwise you have to tell OE which revision of the u-boot git sources you want
to build. Have a look at [2] for this. 

If there's no explicit need for building u-boot (maybe it's binary is shipped
somewhere else) I would go with commenting ASSUME_PROVIDED in.
