Add support for a ~/.cant git cache (like the ~/.m2 for maven) #10

The idea is to locally cache the git repos we need and use often locally. When we run cant it will check local to see if it can clone & checkout the specified branch. If not, then it will update the repo and then clone & checkout into our local project.

The big wins here are:

  1. I don't need to wait on github.com or whatever each time I start fresh. (faster)
  2. I can publish local stuff into my cant cache without the need of a github project (better)
  3. It's easier to work without a network or with a network that isn't 100% reliable. (stronger)

The cache idea is a very good one. I will look into adding this.
