Bug Description
It would be useful to be able to specify a branch to checkout when specifying a git repo in the install commands and the name of the directory where the clone should reside.
Right now I have two repo's with almost the same content for handling some minor differences between x86 and aarch64. I could do the git commands in the run steps but it seems natural to be able to have more control of the git clone command within the install steps.
For example:
install:
git-repos:
- git://git.
OR:
install:
git-repos:
- git://git.
If the git-repos line was to be executed as a complete git command then you could also specify a directory for the newly checked out repo. And this would then naturally extend to other git clone options.
For example.
install:
git-repos:
- git://git.
- git://git.

the problem with using those lines as git command lines is that we would
have to parse the command line somehow to avoid the risk of shell
command injection. IMO it's better to pass in the needed info already in
a structured way.
I already saw a syntax for this somewhere, but I can't recall exactly
where. Maybe we can use a something like this:
REPOURL#
where everything but the REPOURL is optional.
