-          --    nasty but seems to work reliably, even if nothing was fetched.

-- Clone git repositories specified in source-repository-package stanzas

-  read the commit specified. The rest of the repo is not needed.
-  Note that this does not change the behaviour of `cabal get -s`, which will
-  still clone the repository in full.
-- Clone VCS repositories concurrently, with a maximum of two concurrent tasks
