RFR: git-sync: use ref names instead of hashes

Hi all,

please review this small patch that makes `git sync` avoid using SHA-1 hashes
when executing `git fetch`. There was nothing wrong with this approach, but
older `git` clients have problems when the ref to fetch is a SHA-1 hash. There
is no drawback in using the ref name instead, it only increases compatibility
with older `git` clients.

Thanks,
Erik
