Changelog: ============== * "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout. * It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why. * "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which has been corrected. * "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced) incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected. * "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected. * An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been corrected. * Perforce tests have been updated. * The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected. * A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository, which has been corrected. * "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed when the existing value in the configuration file used the valueless true syntax, which has been corrected. * "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing reachable commits. * A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been fixed. * Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix. * "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed. * The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log message. * "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG() unnecessarily, which has been corrected. * The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted from the output, which has been corrected. * "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a repository, which has been corrected. * A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for 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 BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

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:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
