question on poky and git interaction

question on poky and git interaction

[Jim Abernathy]

under the poky directory you git checkout of the branch you want to work 
with, then you clone meta-intel and within that directory you checkout a 
branch.  if you needed to use git for you personal project, you can't 
put it at the same meta-intel level, right? Only one per directory??? I 
would guess that you'd need to create your personal git clone below 
meta-intel; something like meta-jima.

Does this sound correct??

Hi Jim,

This is indeed how I manage my extra package files and anything else 
poky needs. Any other interesting input would be good to hear though!

Slightly off-topic, with meta-intel and then checking out branches to 
get specific machines, do you do global work in master, machine specific 
work in the branches, and then merge out from master to the branches to 
keep them all in sync?

Cheers,
Jack.
