Edit the Makefile and around line ~83, make it look like this:

setup-openembedded stamps/openembedded:
        ( [ -e stamps/openembedded ] && \
          [ -e openembedded/.git ] ) || \
        ( git clone -n git://${OM_GIT_SITE}/git/openmoko.git openembedded )
        ( cd openembedded && git branch --track ${OM_GIT_BRANCH} origin/${OM_GIT_BRANCH} )
        ( cd openembedded && git checkout ${OM_GIT_BRANCH} )
        [ -d stamps ] || mkdir stamps
        touch stamps/openembedded

The only difference is the "git branch" line, so you can just add that in the right place.
My build's still going, but hasn't messed up yet. Certainly all the git related stuff has
worked.


PS: Thanks to switching to git... at least I can figure out failures by myself now!
