[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 2/6] toaster: use git reset --hard instead of rebase

[brian avery]

From: Ed Bartosh <ed.bartosh at linux.intel.com>

Replaced 'git checkout <ref> && git rebase' with 'git reset --hard' as
with git checkout repository ends up with detached HEAD. Rebase makes
things even worse as it can cause conflicts. git reset --hard resets
repository to the required state in a most straightforward and
reliable way.
