I would say it depends. We may imagine that some people use git
submodules to achieve something like this:

 + project
 --+ buildroot
 --+ linux
 --+ uboot
 --+ application

with a suitable local.mk, under version control, that tells Buildroot
to look for the kernel source code in $(TOPDIR)/../linux, U-Boot
source code in $(TOPDIR)/../uboot, etc.

(in the above, buildroot, linux, uboot and application are separate Git
repositories that are put together into a global project Git
repositories using git submodules).

But J?r?my's patch doesn't prevent from doing that, since it just
changes the default value.

Best regards,

Thomas
