I think we don't want to support using branches as Git versions, as it
doesn't make sense, because it won't behave as the user expects.
If you use a branch as _VERSION for a package, Buildroot will only
download once, and never update to newer commits in this branch,
because it will already have a cached tarball in its DL_DIR.
So I'm not sure we want to add some code to support a use case that we
don't want support :-)
