Ah ha, it *was* failing before that.

'git show-ref -s --heads yocto/standard/beagleboard' fails without an 
error message (prints nothing; $? is 1).

On the other hand, 'git show-ref -s --head yocto/standard/beagleboard' 
seems to work (heads vs head). This is git 1.6.0.5.

Of course, this was working fine with the remote git tree -- it's only 
when I switched to my local clone that I ran into problems. I guess that 
means I'm missing "refs/heads", whatever that means... did I somehow 
clone my git tree incorrectly? I did a git clone; git checkout -t 
origin/meta -b meta; git commit.
