Because we are trying to avoid network activity and use our own fetcher,
the system emulates the behavior of 'git submodule init'.
git submodule init uses the .gitmodules file, where typically the module
name and path are the same. However, in this case the module name and
path (in the tree) were different. i.e.:
[submodule "edgelet/hsm-sys/azure-iot-hsm-c/deps/azure-c-shared-utility"]
path = edgelet/hsm-sys/azure-iot-hsm-c/deps/c-shared
url = https://github.com/Azure/azure-c-shared-utility.git
Previously the code assumed the 'path' was both the checkout location
under .git/modules, as well as the path to extract the components. This
proved to be incorrect as the .git/modules path needs to match the submodule
'name'. This causes the components that were fetched to be initialized in
the wrong location, which later caused the 'git submodule update' process to
skip not properly initialized modules.
A test case was added for this specific case to ensure a regression does
not appear in the future.

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
