Description Tom Zanussi 2012-10-11 15:41:36 UTC 
yocto-bsp create does a 'git ls-remote git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.4.git *heads*' to get the set of existing branches from the kernel repo.

If the user isn't connected to the network, or if git isn't configured sanely, yocto-bsp fails with an ugly Python backtrace.

We should try to avoid this by doing a basic sanity check for those things before actually running the command.
