documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: branch info added
The example now uses an edison branch of the poky-extras repo. Now that that is necessary, there needs to be explanation in the example on setting that branch up after creating the local repository.

177 Once you have the repository set up,
178 you have many development branches from which you can work.
179 From inside the repository you can see the branch names and the tag names used
180 in the Git repository using either of the following two commands:
181 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
182 $ cd poky
183 $ git branch -a
184 $ git tag -l
185 </literallayout>
186 This example uses the Yocto Project 1.1.1 Release code named "edison",
187 which maps to the <filename>edison</filename> branch in the repository.
188 The following commands create and checkout the local <filename>edison</filename>
189 branch:
190 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
191 $ git checkout -b edison origin/edison
192 Branch edison set up to track remote branch edison from origin.
193 Switched to a new branch 'edison'
