Many recipes don't have this and the revision is not on the master branch, hence leading to errors like this: ERROR: Fetcher failure: Unable to find revision f89bc066db0569008418fac1a0408a9a57f2232f in branch master even from upstream ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://github.com/boundarydevices/u-boot-imx6.git'. Unable to fetch URL from any source.

In the case above, I have a checked out copy of this repository and when I try to find the branch, I come up empty: $ git branch --contains f89bc066db0569008418fac1a0408a9a57f2232f $ git log f89bc066db0569008418fac1a0408a9a57f2232f commit f89bc066db0569008418fac1a0408a9a57f2232f Author: Eric Nelson Date: Mon Aug 26 17:36:35 2013 -0700 i.MX6: nitrogen6x: Add Yocto boot script So I see that the commit is present, but when I ask what branch, I get nothing... Any ideas how to proceed?
