[yocto] Using stable releases from git

[Joshua Lock]

It's beginning to sound like we've caught some folks off guard by 
pushing changes to the edison branch of the poky repository in 
preparation for an upcoming edison point release.

The named branches are development branches for the release, stable 
release development will be done in the named branch and we can't 
guarantee they will be issue free (though we intend them to be where 
possible).

If you're looking to use a git checkout which matches the release 
tarballs you should checkout the tags for the releases. i.e. for Poky 
Edison-6.0/Yocto 1.1:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tag/?id=edison-6.0
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tag/?id=edison-6.0

Having suffered through a couple of stable cycles recently I anticipate 
that in future the release branches will be updated more frequently. 
This will make it even more important to use a tag, rather than a 
branch, to track the releases using git.

Cheers,
Joshua
