Re: [yocto] kernel append file with dts in SRC_URI and subdir

[Gyorgy Sarvari <skandigraun@gmail.com>]

For git fetcher, if the unpack directory already exists at the time of 
unpacking, then it first gets deleted recursively: 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/git.py#n660 
- it doesn't check if the content conflicts or not :)
