[OE-core] combo-layer issue

[akuster808]

Morning all,

I am trying to replicate how Poky is created using combo-layer.  I have 
referenced  https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Combo-layer

The issue seems to be related when I define "branch". Not defining it 
works fine (ie, master default). I suspect I am doing something 
incorrectly or a compatibility issue with my local git version 1.9.1.

can someone poke to go in the right direction.

kind regards,
Armin


combo-layer.conf:

[bitbake]
src_uri = git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake
local_repo_dir = /tmp/src/test/bitbake
dest_dir = bitbake
branch = 1.26

[oe-core]
src_uri = git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
local_repo_dir = /tmp/src/test/oecore
dest_dir = .
branch = fido
last_revision =
