    I'm creating a new recipe for local development but when I do a 'devtool modify <recipe>' it always seems to make an empty directory (that contains only .git.) 

    Here's the relevant lines from my .bb file:
    SRC_URI = "git:///home/pvoelker/bmc/dev/oem;protocol=file"

I am not too sure but this should be file://, You may have to fix above line.

    SRCREV = "4db17f482b0bdcdcf5658c7d323cc563eb78556a"
    inherit autotools

    Here's the warning from 'devtool modify':
    WARNING: No source unpacked to S - either the phoenix-oem recipe doesn't use any source or the correct source directory could not be determined

    If I change either the SRC_URI or the SRCREV to be invalid, I get an error instead of a warning so it's definitely finding the local repo.

    I can't figure out why none of the files in my commit are making it into the unpack directory.  Any ideas or tips on debugging?  I also tried using  a .tar.gz file instead of a local git repo and had the same result.
