[oe] android-tools related warnings in (updated) eSDK

[Andrea Galbusera]

When upgrading an eSDK (via devtool sdk-update) from a project that
includes meta-oe in the stack, some files listed in android-tools' SRC_URI,
most notably patches and systemd service file got removed from the eSDK
copy of metadata during the update, leading bitbake to start warning about
not being able to verify the checksum for those files (those files are
indeed missing as shown below).

Here is the log from bitbake:

...and the metadata files:

$ find poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/
fastboot.mk
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/
mkbootimg.mk
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/adbd.mk
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/
ext4_utils.mk
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/adb.mk
poky_sdk/layers/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/.gitignore

As you see, *.patch at al. are missing...

The root cause to me seems the existence of a .gitignore file in the
meta-oe metadata
(meta-oe/recipes-devtools/android-tools/android-tools/.gitignore): the
exact reason for this being there is not 100% clear to me but I suspects it
then gets in the way when oe-publish-sdk runs...

Any eSDK and friends guru with a clue here?
