The update_submodules and unpack_submodules functions were nearly indentical, so we made a common function where the different behavior could be passed in by the download and unpack users. The new function is process_submodules. Moved the parse_gitmodules function under the new process_submodules, since there are no external callers. Refactor the file relative path processing to the URL translation code. We also add a warning to the translation if a relative ssh URL has been detected. Since this can cause a problem. In the case of a relative URL that does not work after being translated, it should be possible to use the MIRROR functions to manual translate the generated relative URL into one that works properly. Remove 'git config' processing on download contents. It turns out this is not necessary since all of the later components work using the git fetcher. Limit the 'git submodule update' call to only when unpacking a non-bare repository. Submodules are always loaded as bare, so this prevents intermediate unpacks from being attempted. Finally, the test cases were updated and the new commit ids in the test repository were updates as well.

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: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
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
