I am not sure I understood your problem correctly, but won't this
scenario solve your purpose ?

get the local copy,
git clone http://repo.or.cz/openembedded.git org.openembedded

create local braches for stable, dev
cd org.openembedded
git checkout -b stable origin/org.openembedded.stable
git checkout -b dev origin/org.openembedded.dev

you can then switch between the branches/commit code using,
git checkout <branch name>
git commit <file1> <file2> ...

Push your modifications with,
git push origin refs/heads/<local branch name>:refs/heads/<remote branch name>
