Checkout git repo fully, without switching to specific commit

[anton-slashm]

What would you like to be added:
Ability to clone repo fully, without switching to specific commit.

Why is this needed:

python-semantic-release (and probably other semver tools) don't work otherwise, and require manually checking out the branch before executing command

@anton-slashm I'd like to better understand the issue since it's not really clear. Once understood we can analyze it and choose if a change is needed and what kind of change.

Can you provide some details on what you'd like to achieve, steps to reproduce the issue etc?
