[yocto] Forcing fetch task when source changes

[Vuille, Martin (Martin)]

Perhaps I misunderstood your suggestion or I am missing
something obvious, but this doesn't work either.

If I point to my source with SRC_URI, the source does get
copied over to ${S} but changing the source doesn't trigger
a new fetch/unpack.

This is cleaner than what I was doing, but doesn't address
my issue of having to manually force a fetch/unpack every
time the source changes.

Perhaps due to my old versions: Poky 1.2 and bitbake 1.15.1?
