A custom shallow submodule is no longer necessary, as the regular git fetcher is used and shallow handling works with the same code. The only general difference between the regular change is simply declaring a clone as shallow, when appropriate. This also removes a potential race condition in copying repositories vs cloning them. The gitsm shallow fetcher test was revised to verify that the submodule is shallow cloned along with the primary repository. The first step of this change was to be sure to clean the gitsubmodule download directory, as was previously done with the may gitsource directory. Additional test components were added to verify commit counts, and an obsolete (and likely incorrect) test for the .git/modules directory to be empty was also removed.

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
