Er, just a thought... but now that we've switched to git, should OE just
globally ASSUME_PROVIDED for git-native?

I'm not sure what that would really buy you. It would be a pain for
downstream OE users who might be getting the metadata through some other
means (rather than checking it out directly from the OE git tree), and
it doesn't really seem like it would bring any great benefit.
Individual users can obviously set ASSUME_PROVIDED for git-native if
they want and I guess they should continue to do that.

IIRC git-native was added for people without git (e.g. RHEL) or people
only having old git versions (e.g. git 1.4) that the fetcher doesn't like.
So removing it would have no positive effect other than shortening
initial build time with a few seconds.

Koen
