Description Michael Wood 2015-11-25 15:55:49 UTC 
In localhostbecontrl we attempt to clone the current checkout rather than fetch it from the internet to speed up the initial build. This can save a reasonable amount of time as it can take a while to download the poky repo. However at the moment if it fails to do this correctly it's fatal

e.g. "
command: git clone "/var/www/toaster/jethro/bitbake" "/var/www/toaster/jethro/bitbake/_toaster_clones/_git___git.yoctoproject.org_poky_jethro" 
fatal: repository '/var/www/toaster/jethro/bitbake' does not exist 

"

And the build fails. We should handle this exception and just continue and git clone from the internet instead.
