There are a few problems with the above.  

1) The branches that you push to the poky-contrib repository should be called  
<author>/<topic> e.g. paule/engine might be one of my branches.

2) git branch doesn't actually check out anything. Either you need to do a git  
checkout <branchname> afterwards, or alternatively use  
git checkout -b <branchname> to create the branch and check it out in one  
step.

3) Going forward it's going to be a lot easier if everyone's remote called  
"origin" is pointing to the poky repository, and the "poky-contrib" remote  
points to the poky-contrib repository. To change your existing poky-contrib  
clone to be set up that way, you would run:

git remote set-url origin git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
git remote add poky-contrib ssh://git@git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib
git fetch --all -p

Then, each time you start some new work:
1) git checkout origin/master -b <branchname>
2) ... make changes ...
3) git push poky-contrib <branchname>

Cheers,
Paul
