Allow shallow-clone to a specific branch or tag

See original GitHub issue

I did a shallow-clone - but this clones Git master. Switching to remote release/10.x is not possible out of this Git (or I did not find an appropriate solution).

Instructions:

cd tc-build

TC_OPTS=" --build-type Release -p clang;lld -t X86 -b release/10.x --shallow-clone --no-update --check-targets clang lld --build-stage1-only -B /home/dileks/src/llvm-toolchain/build --install-stage1-only -I /home/dileks/src/llvm-toolchain/install"

./build-llvm.py ${TC_OPTS}

A manual shallow-clone to a specific branch was succesful here (see [1], sorry partly German):

$ git clone --branch release/10.x --depth 1 git://github.com/llvm/llvm-project
Klone nach 'llvm-project' ...

Aktualisiere Dateien: 100% (90213/90213), Fertig.

$ cd llvm-project/

$ git branch 
* release/10.x

$ git log --oneline -1
edbe962459da (grafted, HEAD -> release/10.x, origin/release/10.x) [COFF] Don't treat DWARF sections as GC roots

Desired is a working together of --branch BRANCH with --shallow-clone option.
