I like the idea of this however:

$ cat classes/sanity.bbclass | grep 7.8
# We use git parameters and functionality only found in 1.7.8 or later
    if LooseVersion(version) < LooseVersion("1.7.8"):
        return "Your version of git is older than 1.7.8 and has bugs
which will break builds. Please install a newer version of git.\n"

so we have a minimum version of 1.7.8 defined right now...

I'd be ok merging this if we increase the minimum version requirement.

Cheers,

Richard
