* at least with git 2.6.3 I see git request-pull failing
when there is only :{BRANCH} as ending commit
* $ git request-pull origin/dizzy git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib jansa/dizzy-backports:jansa/dizzy-backports
The following changes since commit 7bb182bdd130266100fc541fd09b82d09c51cd80:
build-appliance-image: Update to dizzy head revision (2015-09-29 14:56:04 +0100)
...
And finds correct 7 changes there
* $ git request-pull origin/dizzy git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib :jansa/dizzy-backports
warn: No match for commit 6068d1c90336ddc1fb32856efd1d9ccf07733896 found at git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib
warn: Are you sure you pushed 'jansa/dizzy-backports' there?
The following changes since commit 97756472d3a69eaca95d105494ffea78c6b077e0:
build-appliance-image: Update to dizzy head revision (2014-10-18 16:16:27 +0200)
...
and lists all commits in _current_ branch since origin/dizzy, then it refuses
to continue, because there are too many changes.
* 6068d1c90336ddc1fb32856efd1d9ccf07733896 is this commit in jansa/master-submitted
branch so it really shouldn't be included in pull request from jansa/dizzy branch.
* git help says:
<end>
Commit to end at (defaults to HEAD). This names the commit at the tip of the history you are asking to be pulled.
When the repository named by <url> has the commit at a tip of a ref that is different from the ref you have locally, you can use
the <local>:<remote> syntax, to have its local name, a colon :, and its remote name.
* maybe the syntax got changes since git 2.1.0 when Saul added :${BRANCH}
* I haven't found how to respect ${COMMIT_ID in the new syntax

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/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
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:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
