While the what-i-wish-id-known document is pretty clear about it, it's true= that saying "As you work with the local branch, you can periodically use the git= pull --rebase command to be sure you are up-to-date with the upstream branch." w= hen speaking about the poky repository kind of imply local modifications. And t= hese two documents are unrelated. So all-in-all, I think what we want to remove here is the "--rebase" flag. That's the only thing implying local modifications to poky. Using "git pull= " is fine. I'd take a patch. Antonin --=20 Antonin Godard, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
