The prior fetcher did not know how to work with MIRRORS, and did not
honor BB_NO_NETWORK and similar.
The new fetcher approach recursively calls 'gitsm' download on each
submodule detected. This ensures that it will go throug the
standard download process.
Each downloaded submodule is then 'attached' to the original download in
the 'modules' directory. This mimics the behavior of:
git submodule init
but there is no chance it will contact the network without permission.
It then corrects upstream reference URIs.
The unpack steps simply copies the items from the downloads to the destdir.
Once copied the submodules are connected and we then run:
git submodule update
According to the git documentation, git submodule init can and will modify
the project configuration and may connect to the network. Doing the
work manually prevents this. (This manual process is allowed based
on my reading of the documentation.)
See: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
The small change to the existing test is due to this new code always assuming
the code is from a remote system, and not a 'local' repository. If this
assumption proves to be incorrect -- code will need to be added to deal
with local repositories without an upstream URI.

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
