Yes I have that and I have specified the correct Source Directory but
I'm wondering about the actual operation of the build process. If I
specify a SRC_URI of GIT: then the build process will pull the code in
from the Repo and place it in the "${S}" to work on the code, apply
patches, configure etc. etc. I assume that the same is the case with a
SRC_URI of SVN but it appears to me that if you specify a SRC_URI on the
local file system the build system ignores it.
