#2519: Git source step should update refs

 Largely because of the way the fetch step is done:

     git fetch -t repo branch

 Branch refs in the clone are roughly meaningless.

 Better would be to simply:

     git fetch -t repo

 Or, I dunno, this probably works:

     git fetch -t

 This way, refs like `origin/master` actually point at the right place in
 the clone.  As a bonus, this would make commands like:

     git reset --hard branch --

 work, instead of needing to figure out a revision hash.  This would seem
 to simplify the rest of the Git source step's job.
