#2153: Master-side git source step always uses default branch after clone
----------------------+-----------------------------

----------------------+-----------------------------
 Master-side git source step doesn't respect the branch property of the
 build request when has to do a full clone.

 This means that for all modes/methods, it may build the wrong branch if
 the source dir is not updateable, and in particular '''full/clobber will
 always build the default branch''', regardless of the branch property.

 This happens because the master-side git source step only does a git clone
 if source is missing: it does not checkout any branch in particular, so it
 will happen to build the branch git clone checked out (typically, master).
