     Fixing ticket #609

     The problem in the ticket is that Git does not checkout the wanted
 branch, but simply checks out master branch and resets it to the HEAD of
 the given branch. This means that any scripts in the build that rely on
 the name of the git-branch in the repo will not see the name they expect
 to see.

     We do not want to simply checkout the branch every time, as that will
 leave a lot of "dangling" branches if the branch names are changed with
 time.
     So, the decision is to do the same thing we did till now, but also add
 a step for renaming the branch to the expected name, and make sure the
 fetching will reset to the wanted revision.
