718 It is an important distinction that
719 <filename>COREBASE</filename> points to the parent of this
720 layer and not the layer itself.
721 Consider an example where you have cloned the Poky Git
722 repository and retained the <filename>poky</filename>
723 name for your local copy of the repository.
724 In this case, <filename>COREBASE</filename> points to
725 the <filename>poky</filename> folder because it is the
726 parent directory of the <filename>poky/meta</filename>
727 layer.
