Added a bit more information to the wording where it talks about
creating a Git Repository if you are going to contribute back
into YP. This change was suggested by Robert P. J. Day and
was submitted to me in the form of a patch. For reasons unknown
to me the patch Hunk failed even though I believe I had things
saved and applied correctly. I had to resort to applying it by
hand. I ended up doing a bit of re-writing on the suggested
change to clean it up.

comments on supporting separate directories for B and S. I had
indicated that autotools-based recipes did this by default, which
was wrong. What was confusing to me is where the comments should
be. I ended up putting them in both areas of the reference manual.

Pulling the "Common Tasks" chapter fromt YP Reference Manual
broke many links. Each of these links had to be repaired so that
the link is to the YP Develepment Manual now, where the chapter
was moved to.

I updated dev-manual.xml to include the new common tasks file
'dev-manual-common-tasks.xml' and updated poky-ref-manual.xml
to not have the file 'extended.xml'. This reflects the new
chapter swap between the YP reference manual and the YP
development manual.

I am moving the "extended.xml" file from the YP Reference Manual
to the YP Development Manual. This will be the basis for a common

I split the Git section into a couple sub-sections. One talks
about concepts and the other is the section on simple commands.
Hopefully the concepts section now addresses the confusion
people are having over branches, tags, etc.
Also changed the definition of the term "Yocto Project Files"
based on some input by Joshua Lock.

and the example that creates the bare clone and the copy of the
bare clone to use better names that are more easily distiguishable:
linux-yocto-3.0-1.1.x.git and my-linux-3.0-1.1.x-work, respectively.

Edits to the section describing how to set up the YP files before the
BSP example. I am working with Joshua Lock on these to settle them
down. The edits are trying to establish understanding between a
Git repository and a tarball... just what the user has a hold of
after getting the files by either method.

The information surrounding the central download directory was
pretty scant. Jim Abernathy pointed this out in an email sent to
me. As a start, I have added quite a bit more information to
the glossary description for DL_DIR. Part of that added information
is a pointer to the FAQ entry that describes exactly how the
build system gets source files. Then, in the YP Development Manual
in the section that introduces the build process, I added several
references to various variables that are set in the local.conf
file prior to kicking off the build.
