It would be more traditional to set S with a hard assignment in the .inc
file, and simply override it (the same as SRC_URI) in the _git.bb file.
But, essentially, yes, what you are describing there is basically what
you'd have to do.  There is plenty of precedent in OE for the general
approach of using an .inc file to set generic defaults and then allowing
particular .bb files to override the parts they don't want.

I'll have a look at your git checkout issue later today.
