There were some issues that Tom and Joshua were seeing which I debugged
and found that we weren't adding in new branches in the fetching code.

I was able to reproduce and then have added a patch to the git fetcher
which ensures these things are cloned correctly and any new branches are
created. I talked with Bruce to confirm my diagnosis and the solution.

This fix makes an awful lot of sense and explains various issues we've
been chasing for a while with the fetcher bugs so I'm very pleased to
have this fix checked in.

Could people continue to test the code and report any problems...

Thanks,

Richard
