2013-09-22kernel-dev: Updated the in-tree metadata sectionScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #5065] I added a blurb at the end of the section that talks about in-tree metadata. The blurb addresses situations where the user has changed the metadata but not updated the corresponding SRCREV variables in the kernel receipe.

2013-01-16kernel-dev: Created super section for Branches.Scott Rifenbark
The sections for "Machine Branches" and "Feature Branches" really should be encapsulated within a section on branching. Much of the text in the "Machine Branches" section presents the rationale behind both types of branches. I have created a larger section to contain these and will edit the text to fit.
