Bruce Ashfield 5e4a6bd7e2 linux-yocto: allow configuration of arbitrary branches

When building an external tree or bootstrapping a BSP the
external branch may not have been checked out. The tools now ensure
that the tree is ready for configuration, so we no longer need to
force the checkout of the external branch.

This change is coupled with some kern tools tweaks as follows:

  40d9bab updateme: allow the location of board descriptions based on defines
  59859ca createme: use branch name when creating meta data
  91b4275 configme: determine meta branch based on directories, not branch naming
  f5a915c kgit-meta: make branch creation and renaming more robust

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
