By default the unpacker will create a "shared" clone when cloning from the DL_DIR to the WORKDIR. This patch introduces an option to control that behaviour. Imagine some recipe steps are executed in a namespace that is different from the one your downloader and unpacker ran in. (chroot) Because a "shared" clone has an absolute reference to its "alternate" you now have to make that "alternate" visible in that new namespace (chroot) at the exact place. With this patch you can unpack "noshared" and get a stand-alone copy. This copy will also work if the "alternate" is not visible or existant. The switch is a global bitbake switch and will affect all git urls. Build systems that need "noshared" most likely need it for everything they do with git.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: https://docs.yoctoproject.org
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
