 The instructions will be slightly different depending on whether Linux, Windows or Mac is used. There are setup instructions for using **Windows/Mac** at https://github.com/crops/docker-win-mac-docs/wiki. When referring to **Windows/Mac** in the rest of the document, it is assumed the instructions at https://github.com/crops/docker-win-mac-docs/wiki were followed.
 
+Note that the poky-container should *not* be used to obtain the meta-data, but
+just to build it. This means that meta-data should be checked out using native
+tools that run on the host and not with tools in container. The reason is that
+the container has no dummy git user configured.
