The named branches are development branches for the release,
stable release development will be done in the named branch and we
can't guarantee they will be issue free (though we intend them to
be where possible).

If you're looking to use a git checkout which matches the release
tarballs you should checkout the tags for the releases. i.e. for
Poky Edison-6.0/Yocto 1.1:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tag/?id=edison-6.0">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tag/?id=edison-6.0</a>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tag/?id=edison-6.0">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tag/?id=edison-6.0</a>
<br>

<small>So instead of doing: </small><br>
<pre class="literallayout">git checkout -b edison origin/edison
what should I do if I want to stay in sync with the tarball. This may just be a doc problem.
