- Branch / tag / commit that should be fetched.
+ Branch / tag / commit that should be fetched. A branch or tag gets fetched
+ on every run, so the work tree follows it. A commit, given by its hash or a
+ prefix thereof of at least four hex digits, only gets fetched if the work
+ tree lacks it, unless `fetchAlways` is set. So a branch or tag whose name
+ consists of hex digits only counts as a commit.
* `clean.exclude` -
List of patterns that should be excluded from Git cleaning.
