[yocto] Recipe svn-fetcher and scmdata

[Teemu K]

Hi,

I have some recipes that fetch sources directly from svn. I'd like to
keep the .svn to make it easier to commit changes. I checked that
those are by default removed and that there is scmdata - option if
those wanted to be kept.

I set the following src_uri:

SRC_URI = "svn://my.svn.server/svn/sw_components/program/;module=trunk;protocol=http;scmdata=keep"

Yet the .svn - data is removed from the sources under build -
directory. It is in under download directory though so I'm wondering
if I got this right in the first place?

I tried with devtool modify and it seems I ended up having .git -
directory there although sources are in svn. Maybe it's systems
'subtle' way of telling me to switch to git? ;)

But should the scmdata=keep option work like I'm thinking it should
and/or what I'm doing wrong?
