Handle branch or commit refs in the url for unmanaged git solutions
This allows having a git repo cloned on a specific branch or commit, similar to
what's possible for svn solutions by specifying a url like svnrepo/branches/foo
Having the possibility to check the code out on a specific branch makes the
initial code checkout workflow simpler, and allows specifying all the relevant
info directly in the fetch recipe, instead of having to deal with branches
manually afterwards (which is the whole purpose of recipes in the first place)
So with this change, I'm able to do the following in my custom fetch recipe:
solution = {
'name' : 'src',
'url' : 'git@github.snei.sony.com:SNEI/chromium.git@refs/heads/custombranch',
