Bitbake on nilrt/16.0 branch outside NI domain fails to fetch from git.amer.corp.natinst hostmane

If I'm working outside the NI network and I try to bitbake on any of the nilrt/16.0 recipes, I get this error when issuing bitbake-layers show-recipes

Parsing recipes..ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /nilrt/sources/meta-nilrt/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-nilrt_3.14.bb: Failure expanding variable do_populate_sysroot: ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable SRCPV, expression was ${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)} which triggered exception FetchError: Fetcher failure: Fetch command failed with exit code 128, output:

It seems that .bb class tries to fetch your internal git repo and fails since it's reachable only by computers inside the NI network. This might be an issue for all customers trying to build images\packages with Yocto. It seems that with older branches (e.g. nilrt/15.5) this issue does not show up.

Yes, @fmussi , we're aware and we will fix the issue in the meta-nilrt repo. In the meantime, pull requests are more than welcome!
