But the whole point is to have a specific SRCREV, not AUTOREV.  Having
a recipe which always gets the latest revision is often not advised nor
even allowed in some circles.

This particular recipe obviously wanted to use a particular revision,
not the tip of the "releases/0.8" branch.  Specifying both is contradictory.
