Hi

As of today, Fedora 36 is considered a stable host distribution.
However, without this patch externalsrc or devtool modify is unusable
on Fedora 36, at least for me and one of my colleagues.
So I thought, will ask about the status of this patch.

Tnank you and regards,
Adrian

This is a fix for 0533edac277080e1bd130c14df0cbac61ba01a0c.

If the externalsrc directory is a git repository without submodules
  git config --file .gitmodules --get-regexp path
exits with 1. This leads to a subprocess.CalledProcessError
exception:

bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable
do_compile[file-checksums],
  expression was ${@srctree_hash_files(d)} which triggered
exception
  CalledProcessError: Command '['git', 'config', '--file',
'.gitmodules',
  '--get-regexp', 'path']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
The variable dependency chain for the failure is: do_compile[file-
checksums]
