I seem to have a problem where if two branches point to the same commit but
have a different name the ansible git module may fail. I believe the reason
is that when the module sees that the commits are the same between HEAD on
the local repo, and the remote requested branch, it doesn't bother to do a
fetch to update the local branches
Here is a playbook I created that demonstrates the issue, the last step in
the play fails and it isn't clear to me why it should fail.
