Are you talking about committing kernel changes here ? Or changes
to layers and packages ?

I'm not following what you are describing here. Linux-yocto works largely
like any other git based recipe. It works from the copy of the repo
that is created in downloads/git2 and does a slightly different
instantiation into ${B} to ensure that all branches are local. If
you don't have the right code in in the downloaded git repo, or a
tarball created from it, you won't see it in your build.

Can you clarify what this is showing ? missing changes you
made to the kernel ? Perhaps a diff would illustrate it better.
