Describe the bug

cekit permits specifying a git ref for a module, but this does not translate into a git ref underneath, but must actually be a tag or branch name (valid argument to git clone -b). It would be nicer if this could be a real git ref (e.g. be123a80c5497a595e2a997a0f1dbe14c9e3442e)

To reproduce

Attempt to set the git ref for an external module to a ref that is not a branch or tag name.

Expected behavior

Remote repository cloned and local branch set up to reference the ref specified, even if it was a sha1-id.

I'm looking at this now. Changing this to accept any ref is very simple, but the only thing that bothers me a bit is that it is suboptimal: we need to clone the whole repository first so that locally we have all information and only then checkout a specific ref. For large repositories it may be an issue making the run slower, but I guess the feature to use any ref is probably worth it.

This makes it possible to use any valid reference as the
'ref' value for a Git resource. This type of resource is used
for example for defining module registries.

This accepts now branch, tag, commit or any other valid ref.
