I'd expect that it part of the log, since obviously the mirrors aren't
going to have a copy of your kernel.

You really aren't seeing anything land in the build/downloads/git2/
directory structure ? ssh fetches seem to work here.

You'd be better of working through the issues and getting the right
SRC_URI specification for the fetcher, since taking the fetch into a
custom routine is going to short circuit parts of the build .. and you'll
have to take care of them yourself.
