Subject: [PATCH] Fix git module to update branch to latest when using
 version=<branch>

The git module would not pull in updates to a branch when
version=<branch>.  This updates that block to checkout the branch
and then do a git reset --hard <remote>/<branch>.  This
should now track updates to a branch.
