Hm, but why do you need this at all ? ^^^^ I'm not sure what 'this' refers to, did you mean this line:

Isn't
git checkout -r $BRANCH
working for you ?
? Did I miss a git syntax trick? the git-checkout manpage doesn't mention an -r option.
right, it is just "git checkout $BRANCH". Why do you need the -B option and therefore an extra switch ?
My intention is to have a source service that can tar up an arbitrary branch, and afaics there isn't a way to do that with git in tar_scm at present. If I understand correctly, tar_scm may be called where an existing clone exists, so I used checkout -B to cover the case that the user changes the branch in an existing source service so the existing clone is checked out to the requested branch.
-B is creating a new branch. An existing tar ball may be used to reduce the needed deltas to download. But this is complete independend of a checkout.
