git and BB_NO_NETWORK

[Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com>]

This is related to bug #752

Richard has made some changes which nearly fixes that bug, except
for the mtd-utils_1.4.1.bb recipe.  The problem with this recipe
is that it specifies a git tag, not a fixed revision.  The fetcher
fails in this case as it has to interrogate the git tree to find
the tag and that's not allowed because of BB_NO_NETWORK=1

I tried to move this to a fixed revision which corresponds to tag v1.4.1
like this:

diff --git a/meta/recipes-devtools/mtd/mtd-utils_1.4.1.bb b/meta/recipes-devtools/mtd/mtd-utils_1.4.1.bb
index 5e6db0e..2c4e276 100644

  PR = "r1"

  EXTRA_OEMAKE = "'CC=${CC}' 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS} -I${S}/include -DWITHOUT_XATTR' 'BUILDDIR=${S}'"

I also added this to my fixed-revisions.inc
SRCREV_pn-mtd-utils ??= "3c3674a6e1d3f59554b0ff68ca59be2fd4134e0c"

Finally, I had to move recipes-devtools/mtd/mtd-utils-1.4.1/add-exclusion-to-mkfs-jffs2-git-2.patch
to recipes-devtools/mtd/mtd-utils or else it could not be found.

Is there an easier way to solve these issues?  Once I understand the whole process, I can
propose a patch.
