[yocto] SRCPV description

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Hi, 

I need a description of the SRCPV variable for the YP reference glossary.  I have been told that it is generated and not assigned and that it is used to define PV values that include the source revisions from an RCS.  By default it is set to the following in the conf/bitbake.conf file:

SRCPV = "${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)}"

Can anyone provide more information on this variable?  

Thanks, 
Scott
