Description Michael Opdenacker 2021-06-14 15:30:26 UTC 
UPSTREAM_CHECK_COMMITS variable doesn't appear in the
documentation, and it's in relatively frequent use.

Proposing to add a description based on the initial
commit for UPSTREAM_CHECK_COMMITS
(https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=591d57877d3d3e659d78c0ed33f4c515e3f6f8fb)?

Adding a comment from Alex Kanavin:

That would be very useful, but you should check if the entire nomenclature of UPSTREAM_CHECK_* variables is documented as well
(_COMMITS, _REGEX, _URI, _GITTAGREGEX).

Comment 3 Michael Opdenacker 2021-09-15 14:29:45 UTC 
Currenly working on updating the related documentation, but looking at the code,
UPSTREAM_VERSION_UNKNOWN should be documented as well.
