name the directory into which the Git fetcher places the Metadata.

Following is an example that shows how a trivial tree of Metadata
is stored in a custom Linux kernel Git repository:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
meta/
`&dash;&dash; cfg
`&dash;&dash; kernel-cache
|&dash;&dash; bsp-standard.scc
|&dash;&dash; bsp.cfg
`&dash;&dash; standard.cfg
</literallayout>

To use a branch different from where the sources reside,
specify the branch in the <filename>KMETA</filename> variable
in your Linux kernel recipe.
Here is an example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KMETA = "meta"
</literallayout>
To use the same branch as the sources, set
<filename>KMETA</filename> to an empty string:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KMETA = ""
</literallayout>
If you are working with your own sources and want to create an
orphan <filename>meta</filename> branch, use these commands
from within your Linux kernel Git repository:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ git checkout &dash;&dash;orphan meta
$ git rm -rf .
$ git commit &dash;&dash;allow-empty -m "Create orphan meta branch"
