That I can explain. The difference is that in 3.0 vs 3.4 the meta branch is now an orphan. Which simply means that in 3.0 the meta branch had a common root with the kernel source tree. In 3.4, we've clarified things, and the meta branch no longer has a common root with the kernel source. The orphan branch means that we do not have to update every branch in the tree when any BSP has a configuration change. But to make the configuration changes available to a single board (or many boards if you build with a single tree + many configs) the simplest way to make the config visible to the build branch is to make the meta directory untracked. Once it is untracked, you'll always see it in your git status checks during development. That is simply noise, since we know that directory is untracked, and we don't want it in the status. If you want to change meta files and push them to another kernel, you do that on the meta branch. In that branch, all files are tracked like you expect.
