Re: Git SRC_TARBALL_STASH filename

[Douglas Royds <douglas.royds@tait.co.nz>]

SRC_TARBALL_STASH is used by all the VCS "fetchers" (CVS, Subversion, 
Git, ...) to try to download the desired VCS tagged version as a tarball 
before going to the VCS itself.

SOURCE_MIRROR_URL is used in own-mirrors.bbclass to set the PREMIRRORS 
variable, which is used by the wget.pyb BitBake "fetcher" before it has 
a go at the specified SRC_URI. SOURCE_MIRROR_URL will only apply to 
tarballs fetched by wget, not to VCS URLs.
