I'm trying to build from scratch and get the following:

"( cd openembedded && git checkout org.openmoko.april-update )
error: pathspec 'org.openmoko.april-update' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?"




I think you need an extra step in there between git clone & git checkout, to create a 
local git branch which tracks the origin's branch, something like this:

git branch --track ${OM_GIT_BRANCH} origin/${OM_GIT_BRANCH}

Then the git checkout will refer to a local branch. I think you'll probably need something 
similar for bitbake - it works at the moment by fluke. :-)

This is working for me anyway (so far!).



Cheers,
