commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=f8b8251a921a7fa4e05b545e503cfc4e736d1d0d
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

When specifying BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION, a user may want to
specify the SHA of a reference different than a branch or tag.

For instance, Gerrit stores the patchsets under refs/changes/xx/xxx, and
Github stores the pull requests under refs/pull/xxx/head.

When cloning a repository with --bare, you don't fetch these references.
This patch uses --mirror for a full clone, in order to give the user
access to all references of the Git repository.
