    <thetext>Currently, the fetchdir is picking the BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR value which points to COREBASE. The directory structure is kind of messy since all layers are checked out under the poky dir.
By adding a parameter to choose the fetchdir location, the user can have a clearer directory structure.</thetext>

    <thetext>I&apos;m in two minds whether we change the default to COREBASE/../, or add an option to override in fetch, or both.</thetext>
