https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads

The page should be more specific about the fact that cloning by branch name does not guarantee the same distro. For guaranteed reproducible results user should clone by point releases. Also, there are two links to clone two different Dizzy point releases, but using the same clone branch.

YP Core - Dizzy 1.7.3 	git clone -b dizzy git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git 	
YP Core - Dizzy 1.7.2 	git clone -b dizzy git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Added new text on the downloads page that describes how YP releases work.

This was done a while ago. Can you please review it & let me know if you'd like to see any other changes, otherwise please close - thanks
