From 8c45abc747add07ebbf9b8dc8e71c98431d7ec25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:50:00 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: Note added Bruce Ashfield suggested adding a note near the explanation of creating a bare clone that suggests if the user already has a linux yocto kernel Git repo handy they can reference that repo in the 'git clone --bare' command rather than referencing the upstream source repository as a way to speed up the process.
