The URN for the GIT Fetcher is git.

The variable GITDIR will be used as the base directory where the git tree is cloned to.

The parameters are tag, protocol and scmdata. tag is a Git tag, the default is “master”. protocol is the Git protocol to use and defaults to “git” if a hostname is set, otherwise its “file”. If scmdata is set to “keep”, the “.git” directory will be available during compile-time.

SRC_URI = "git://git.oe.handhelds.org/git/vip.git;tag=version-1"
