Description Ross Burton 2017-03-21 16:49:30 UTC 
The git fetcher should implement checkstatus() so we can tell when the SRCREV we specify disappears, by doing a shallow clone or something for speed.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2017-03-21 16:51:55 UTC 
So we check the remote exists, but we don't check that the SRCREV exists.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2017-03-21 17:11:28 UTC 
Chin Kooi: this should be a simple introduction to bitbake for someone with good Python skills.

I've sent in a patch for this as an attempt for a newcomer bug:
