When currently specified, the branch is used to verify the versioning of the meta layer, but the master branch is checked out. This change allows for the branch to be specified. Now it is easy to specify all of the meta layers being added are of the same version, without having to do it in each individual git tree. Also, it will error if there are branches without a matching version. Finally, this allows for meta layer git trees without a master branch. (Bitbake rev: 4ec49f42f327068890e7aad8553d7f282e2ffaa1) Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jdmason@kudzu.us> Minor rework of the patch to use the layerBranch actual_branch since the layerindex referenced branch may be different then the overall release branch. Also adjust the patch to use the default git checkout branch instead of master if no branch was specified. (Some repositories don't have a master branch.)

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
