My case: I started a project for Freescale platform and due to bsp headers/libs/cross-compiling it can be built only within OE environment. I have already committed initial code to my project's repo and have already written layers&recipes to build project from git. That was not a problem and it works. Then I added new changes to my project and stuck. Before I'll commit them into git I need to build&test to be sure that everything is OK, but to build changes with bitbake they should be committed first. Mutual exclusive situation: can't commit without build and can't build without commit.
