#2548: Git builder silently drops back to HEAD (master) if a branch isn't found

---------------------+-----------------------
 There is no option to cause a git builder to fail if the specified branch
 isn't found. We've had several cases where people have plugged in an
 invalid branch, or a partial sha in place of the branch field and gotten
 the wrong build.

 The build runs and completes without error but you can see from the log
 that it didn't do what was expected:

 {{{
 ...
 Cloning into '.'...
 warning: Remote branch aa7391a not found in upstream origin, using HEAD
 instead
 ...
 }}}
