/* NOTE:
fetchgit has one problem: git fetch only works for refs.
This is because fetching arbitrary (maybe dangling) commits may be a security risk
and checking whether a commit belongs to a ref is expensive. This may
change in the future when some caching is added to git (?)
Usually refs are either tags (refs/tags/*) or branches (refs/heads/*)
Cloning branches will make the hash check fail when there is an update.
But not all patches we want can be accessed by tags.
The workaround is getting the last n commits so that it's likly that they
still contain the hash we want.
for now : increase depth iteratively (TODO)
real fix: ask git folks to add a
git fetch $HASH contained in $BRANCH
facility because checking that $HASH is contained in $BRANCH is less
expensive than fetching --depth $N.
Even if git folks implemented this feature soon it may take years until
server admins start using the new version?
