[yocto] does any YP guide show clearly how to use a local git kernel repo?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  in my travels, i frequently read online about people asking how to
set up a kernel recipe to point at a local kernel source tree or local
kernel git repo and, as best i can tell, this isn't really explained
in any kind of detail in any YP guide, including the kernel
development guide.

  it seems one has to dig around to finally come up with the SRC_URI
setting for cloning a local git repo, as in:

SRC_URI="git:///<localdir>;protocol=file; ... etc etc ..."

is this described *in detail* in any YP guide? because it's certainly
one of those FAQs.
