And here comes my next really big problem. :(

We're sitting on an big, old but active project based on oe-classic and bitbake 1.12.0. Irksomely we're forced to switch from SVN to GIT for this project. So we need the AUTOREV/PRSERV stuff for this old environment too.

Has anyone tried to backport the feature to an older bitbake/oe-classic environment? Or can someone give some hints what's to do?
