The way nix-prefect-git works, to minimize the commit it has to pull,
is by looking if there is a branch name by listing the branch names of
the remote repository, so if you do not put a branch name on the
current repository nix-prefect-git will have to clone everything
before doing the checkout of the commit.  With a branch name it can
just clone the minimum required to get a working copy.
