Git repositories should always be updated when the ref is a branch. They should be also updated if no ref was specified or if the ref isn’t present. This stops the repo being updated if we’re building a specific revision and it is present. Additionally, this stops the update barfing on repositories where we’re using a revision and there is no upstream `master` branch. Closes Homebrew/homebrew#29218.
