Check what the value of TOPDIR is in this case.  We've got layers that are doing
this exact behavior and they work properly -- but we're not using TOPDIR, we're
using ${THISDIR}, or other hard coded values that are full system paths.

A simple 'bitbake -e <recipe>' looking at SRC_URI should be able to show if you
have a full path or not.

The following is working for us:

KSRC_linux_windriver_4_8 ?= "${THISDIR}/../../git/kernel-4.8.x.git"
SRC_URI =
"git://${KSRC_linux_windriver_4_8};protocol=file;branch=${KBRANCH};name=machine"

(note this is with Morty, not master.)
