X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e321ad2b880ba4d3a4e19ff5a74d1e73cd9c093;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: add more gitsm fetcher limitations

The submodule sources fetched by the gitsm fetcher are not automatically
tracked by the licensing and archiver infrastructures.

Add these limitations to the existing 'warnings' sections for
gitsm.
