<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Hackathon task. Easy if we can assume git >= 1.7 on all clusters (it’s from 2010, <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Releases" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Releases</a>). Namely, take my (faulty) commit that removes the current branch logic (which is fragile) and replace by a <code>git clone -b "foo"</code> is branch “foo” is requested.<br>
This may also have the effect of fixing <a href="https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2580/getcomponents-assumes-that-default-branch" rel="nofollow" title="GetComponents assumes that default branch name is "master"" class="ap-connect-link">#2580</a> since there will no longer be a reference to “master” as the default branch in the repo.</p>
