This script will be used by the git fetcher to create shallow mirror tarballs.
usage: git-make-shallow [-h] [--ref REF] [--shrink] REVISION [REVISION ...]
Remove the history of the specified revisions, then optionally filter the
available refs to those specified.
positional arguments:
REVISION a git revision/commit
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--ref REF, -r REF remove all but the specified refs (cumulative)
--shrink, -s shrink the git repository by repacking and pruning
While git does provide the ability to clone at a specific depth, and fetch all
remote refs at a particular depth, the depth is across all branches/tags, and
doesn't provide the flexibility we need, hence this script.
Refs (branches+tags) can be filtered, as the process of history removal scales
up rapidly with the number of refs. Even the existing `git fetch --depth=` is
extremely slow on an upstream kernel repository with all the branches and tags
kept.
This uses the same underlying mechanism to implement the history removal which
git itself uses (.git/shallow), and the results, when configured similarly, are
in line with the results git itself produces with `fetch --depth`.

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/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
