For similar reasons as the nocheckout option, packages that need enhanced control over the checkout and branch creation on a repository may want a complete mirror/bareclone created of the repository when performing the unpack. This is useful/required when a local respository is being used, but local tracking branches have not been created for all branches that a given recipe needs to manipulate. The standard git clone operations will create remote branches for the branches that are local to the source repository, but branches that are remote do not translate to the destination repository. Doing a mirror/bare clone of the source, makes all branches available to the repository. This is a particular use case, but the ability to do a bare clone creates great flexibility in recipe space, with no impact to recipes that don't need this functionality. To implement this, a new option 'bareclone' is craeted which creates a mirror copy of the repository and leaves it bare in the unpacking phase. A recipe that uses this option must both checkout and debare the repository itself.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
