not a very helpful answer... but i have faced the same issue and just
created artificial dependencies to avoid the 2 fetch tasks to run
concurrently... e.g. if x.bb and y.bb both fetch from same SVN repo,
in y.bb:

do_fetch[depends] += "x:do_fetch"

it's a poor's man workaround... but that might help..
