linux-yocto: safely process unbranched repositories

The BSP bootstrap and -dev use cases can be applied against
unbranched or repos without meta data. To allow the proper
and safe processing of those repositories, slight modifications
to the tools are required to pass the branch on the command
line (rather than detecting it always) and to only checkout
branches that exist.
