Display changes: The output will now include references to the layers that the user already has on their system. It does this by querying the cooker derived index. The code that enables this behavior is labeled as 'TODO' currently. As part of the work we need to make a final determination if this is the desired output. Also changed the default branch to no longer define itself as 'master'. When the user does NOT set a branch, the default is now the 'LAYERSERIES_CORENAMES', and if that doesn't exist 'master'. This is subtly different in behavior, but more consistent with user expectations.

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
