+Honor the branch ref in the url when cloning.
+
+This fixes a bug in the scaffolder prepare stage where a non-default branch
+was specified in the scaffolder URL but the default branch was cloned.
+For example, even though the `other` branch is specified in this example, the
+`master` branch was actually cloned:
+
+```yaml
+catalog:
+  locations:
+    - type: url
+      target: https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/other/plugins/scaffolder-backend/sample-templates/docs-template/template.yaml
+```
+
+This also fixes a 404 in the prepare stage for GitLab URLs.
