Some upstream git repo may rebase in the future, which means current revision may disappear from the upstream repo after the rebase. current git fetcher can not handle this case, because the git mirror tar ball is per repo, and may also change in the rebase and lost the current revision info. To fix this issue, this patch - add rebaseable tag in the SRC_URI - for rebaseable repo, make git mirror tar ball per revision, in this case, even upstream rebase, the git mirror still has the current revision info. - for rebaseable repo, generate mirror tar ball by default, since the repo may change in the future.

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
