documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: branch info added

The example now uses an edison branch of the poky-extras repo.
Now that that is necessary, there needs to be explanation in the
example on setting that branch up after creating the local
repository.

Once you have the repository set up,
you have many development branches from which you can work.
From inside the repository you can see the branch names and the tag names used
in the Git repository using either of the following two commands:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ cd poky
$ git branch -a
$ git tag -l
</literallayout>
This example uses the Yocto Project 1.1.1 Release code named "edison",
which maps to the <filename>edison</filename> branch in the repository.
The following commands create and checkout the local <filename>edison</filename>
branch:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ git checkout -b edison origin/edison
Branch edison set up to track remote branch edison from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'edison'
