Description Richard Purdie 2025-07-04 09:35:03 UTC 
If you run a build for revision XXX, buildbot will display this as "master" on the console, even if that revision isn't on that branch. This is extremely confusing.
Comment 1 Antonin Godard 2025-07-04 10:00:59 UTC 
To reproduce, start a job, for example:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/22/force/genericarm64-alt

Then remove the "Branch:" filed for Poky and set the "Revision:" field.

Example build that produced the issue:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/22/builds/1998
