Currently the git fetcher can malfunction when branches change in remote repositories since whilst the update code updates the "origin" remote, this isn't linked to the local heads. By passing the --mirror option to 'git clone' and 'git remote add', linkage between the local heads and remote heads is created with a 1:1 mapping, hence all the appropriate heads are then updated correctly. This fixes some issues which have been seen with the Yocto autobuilder mirrors.

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
