A distro is a workaround but still. More about this, rpi layer will be included in yocto project repos as Richard plans so it makes sense to have a yocto specific layer. It could be a discussion here about using a core layer and above that some distro specific layers but in my opinion this would be a little too complicated for this. Right now i use a distro file which inherits poky distro in order to BBMASK some bbappends which we don't have in poky.

I find bitbucket a better place to hold any kind of git repo: it has collaborative options, you can have private repos (free) and a bunch of other stuff. And after all it is a git. You can clone it, fetch and pull anywhere on your computer.
