We set up a poky folder on each build machine and then clone all the 
Yocto related repos under it (e.g., meta-openembedded, meta-raspberrypi, 
etc.).

We use our own Python script to manage all our the repos that we work 
with (e..g, run multiple git pull or checkout <branch> / <commit>).  It 
was a pretty simple thing to write (still a work in progress).

Repo (by Google?) seemed a lot heavier than what we needed, so writing 
our own script gave us the control we needed & we could understand 
everything it does.
