Have you seen this approach?

For development workflows, it would be useful to override a recipe-specific branch/tag via bitbake CLI.  For production/stable release workflows, it would be useful to override a layer-specific branch/tag via bitbake CLI, which could be propagated to all recipes within the layer.   This would help when maintaining multiple versions of a layer, corresponding to multiple OE versions.
