From the manual:

"""
Hashes are currently checked for files fetched from http/ftp servers,
Git repositories, files copied using scp and local files. Hashes are
not checked for other version control systems (such as Subversion, CVS,
etc.) because Buildroot currently does not generate reproducible
tarballs when source code is fetched from such version control systems.
"""

But I indeed see:

"""
The none hash type is reserved to those archives downloaded from a
repository, like a git clone, a subversion checkout?
"""

So we have to fix the manual :)

Yeah, it's a bit annoying. If you put a none hash temporarily, then you
can have the tarball downloaded, calculate its hash, and add it. We
also had proposals like https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/791357/ to
help with this.

Best regards,

Thomas
