[bitbake-devel] [PATCH v2] bitbake: layerindex: use branch when specified

[Mark Hatle]

From: Jon Mason <jdmason at kudzu.us>

When currently specified, the branch is used to verify the versioning of
the meta layer, but the master branch is checked out.  This change
allows for the branch to be specified.  Now it is easy to specify all
of the meta layers being added are of the same version, without having
to do it in each individual git tree.  Also, it will error if there are
branches without a matching version.  Finally, this allows for meta
layer git trees without a master branch.

Minor rework of the patch to use the layerBranch actual_branch since
the layerindex referenced branch may be different then the overall
release branch.

Also adjust the patch to use the default git checkout branch instead of
master if no branch was specified.  (Some repositories don't have a
master branch.)
