Right now fetch supports --commit, --branch, and --tag, but it requires you to know which type you are passing in. This can be limiting especially in CI where the logic to know if the build is on a tag, branch, or commit sha can be quite complex depending on the platform.
Propose a unified --ref flag that can be used to pass in any valid git ref and fetch does the right thing.
