Over the past 6 months, I've learned a lot about what I should do to work with Yocto successfully, However, the area of biggest confusion for me is what to do when I want to rebuild something.

I generally work from Master repository and when I see significant changes while doing git pull, I try to rebuild one of my projects. I've tried a lot of the methods:

1.  just bitbake again.
2.  bitbake -c cleanall or -c cleansstate core-image-sato
3. If I know a recipe has changed, I'll bitbake -c cleansstate "recipe name"

Most of the time something fails. Researching what, is an impossibility to me and much quicker to just delete the build directory and redo it.

Is there a good "how to" rebuild? Or is it the best use of time to just tell users to blow away the build dir. and restart, saving the old local.conf and bblayer.conf?
