-            If you're working on a recipe that pulls from an external Source Code Manager (SCM), it
-            is possible to have the OpenEmbedded build system notice new recipe changes added to the
-            SCM and then build the resulting package that depends on the new recipes by using the latest
-            versions.
-            This only works for SCMs from which it is possible to get a sensible revision number for changes.
-            Currently, you can do this with Apache Subversion (SVN), Git, and Bazaar (BZR) repositories.
