[Gumstix-users] overo-2011.03 and Git Stash

[Bob C. <bco...@ve...>]

I finally have a little time to play so I decided to build the 
overo-2011.03 branch following Neil's instructions. Here they are, 
slightly edited by me:

I've added a new branch to gumstix-oe. Here's how you can build off of it.

   $ cd ~/overo-oe
   $ mv tmp old-tmp
   $ cd org.openembedded.dev
   $ git pull
   $ git checkout -b overo-2011.03 origin/overo-2011.03


I want to add that suppose you already have an active branch checked out 
and you made changes to a recipe. Checking out a new branch with the git 
checkout shown above will fail, because you have uncommitted changes. 
What do you do? Git's error message helpfully suggested either stashing 
or committing the changes. I didn't want to commit, so I Googled on 
stashing and learned how to stash changes:

$ git stash save
[git output here about the stash results]

Now I can do my checkout:

$ git checkout -b overo-2011.03 origin/overo-2011.03

I hope this helps someone!

I also hope my omap3-console-image bitbake build works, it is in 
progress now.
