[poky] Introduction and Request for HTTP Git Access

[Ryan_D_Phillips at Dell.com]

Good Day!

My name is Ryan Phillips (irc: rphillips), a former Gentoo Linux Developer, currently a software developer architecting an embedded firmware solution on OE for my employer. With the release of Yocto, we are extremely interested in trying it out and possibly contributing to the project. My cohort working with me is Sean Hudson (irc: darknighte), and is someone who you may see contributions from as well.

A major stumbling block we must work around is the restrictive firewall and git checkouts. We have found out the git-http-backend works extremely well, and are requesting this support on git.pokylinux.org. We suspect other people within larger corporations would have a similar problem, and by adding this support would help the community at large.

I can help out in any way possible.

Regards,
Ryan Phillips
