[yocto] i think the explanation of "Build Directory" in dev manual is wrong

  here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#yocto-project-terms

explanation of "Build Directory", one reads (start quote):

Provide a directory path and specifically name the build directory.
This next example creates a Build Directory named YP-11.0.0 in your
home directory within the directory mybuilds. If mybuilds does not
exist, the directory is created for you:

     $ source poky-tbd-11.0.0/oe-init-build-env $HOME/mybuilds/YP-11.0.0

Provide an existing directory to use as the Build Directory and use
the default build name.

     $ source poky-tbd-11.0.0/oe-init-build-env $HOME/mybuilds/

 === end quote ===

  i don't think either of those is correct, are they? pretty sure that
oe-init-build-env *doesn't* create intermediate directories and, in
that second example, wouldn't that just use ~/mybuilds as the build
directory? i don't foresee a default build name subdirectory being
created there. or am i just confused?
