Ross Burton e35be7aa7d bitbake: fetch2/git: add git-lfs toggle option
Add a new 'lfs' option to the git fetcher so that we can optionally not fetch
git-lfs content, for repositories that contain LFS data that we don't
actually need for building.

By default lfs is set to 1, so if the repository has LFS content then git-lfs is
required.  Setting lfs to 0 will mean that git-lfs won't be required to fetch,
and some files will be missing.

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:

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
