documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be "ref-manual". This will help with confustion over the manual's intended purpose. (From yocto-docs rev: 1106442964b5080cb0b6b3bd3af32e9407c0f7c1) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

16 You can examine build history output from the command line or
17 from a web interface.
18 </p>
19<p>
20 To see any changes that have occurred (assuming you have
21 <code class="filename">BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT = "1"</code>), you can simply
22 use any Git command that allows you to view the history of
23 a repository.
24 Here is one method:
25 </p>
26<pre class="literallayout">
27 $ git log -p
28 </pre>
29<p>
30 You need to realize, however, that this method does show
31 changes that are not significant (e.g. a package's size
32 changing by a few bytes).
33 </p>
34<p>
35 A command-line tool called <code class="filename">buildhistory-diff</code>
36 does exist though that queries the Git repository and prints just
37 the differences that might be significant in human-readable form.
38 Here is an example:
39 </p>
40<pre class="literallayout">
41 $ ~/poky/poky/scripts/buildhistory-diff . HEAD^

59 To see changes to the build history using a web interface, follow
60 the instruction in the <code class="filename">README</code> file here.
61 <a class="ulink" href="http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/buildhistory-web/" target="_self">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/buildhistory-web/</a>.
