Ubuntu 10.04 don't support mirror option with parameter

[Stefan Herbrechtsmeier]

Hi,

the git version of Ubuntu 10.04 is to old to support mirror option with 
parameter which is used by the bitbake fetch2.

Regards,
   Stefan

git://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg-utils

     --mirror              no separate remotes

Which version of the build system are you using? In master and the upcoming 
danny / 1.3 release we have a check in the bitbake wrapper script to determine 
if a newer version of git needs to be built (if the host's version of git is 
older than 1.7.5); if so we build one (git-replacement-native). The denzil / 
1.2 release does not have this, however.

Cheers,
Paul

Sorry, you are right.

Likely I have terminate the bitbake run after pseudo-native but before 
git-replacement-native finished.
