The old code couldn't handle nestled layers correctly, e.g.:
parent_layer/sub_layer/foo.bb
Note there are two layers, parent_layer and sub_layer.
And in parent_layer/conf/layer.conf:
BBFILE_PATTERN_parent_layer = ""^${LAYERDIR}/"
This setting is incorrect since it also matches parent_layer/sub_layer/foo.bb,
so it warns that no files matched sub_layer, this is the expected behavior, but
it doesn't warn when there is a parent_layer/sub_layer/bar.bbappend, this was
incorrect since the bbappend is also matched by BBFILE_PATTERN_parent_layer, it
should warn and let the user fix the problem. Check the bbappend in already
"matched set" before return it as matched by "unmatched set" can fix the problem.

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
