+branch: master
+revision: HEAD

+otherwise master is assumed

+
+git.yoctoproject.org vs. git.freescale.com:
+-------------------------------------------
+
+git.yoctoproject.org hosts the official upstream work of Freescale's OE/YP repos,
+for official SDK releases at times we need to do last minute fixes or include things
+not supported upstream so we have a different repo on git.freescale.com for the
+official release. git.freescale.com should be based off repos from git.yoctoproject.org
