If one of the localcache repos has the exact same commit we resolved
from the remote, then we need to make sure to mark it as partial so that
we download the full tree.

This is a lot like `git clone --reference`, but we chose "localcache" as the
term "reference" is already used.
The main use case I'm targeting this for is the Fedora Atomic Host installer
case where we embed the repo content in the installer, but we may want to
kickstart and download newer content. There, while we want to get a newer ref,
we can still use the local repo as an object cache, since we have it sitting
there in memory anyways.
Another case is where one has a host ostree (say e.g. Fedora Atomic
Workstation), and one wants to create a local archive mirror of FAH. Then one
can use `pull --reference /ostree/repo` and pull the common objects (e.g.
contents of `bash.rpm` etc.)

I don't know why we didn't do this a long time ago. This extends the
pull API to allow grabbing a specific commit, and will set the branch
to it. There's some support for this in the deploy engine, but there
are a lot of reasons to support it for raw pulls (such as subset
mirroring cases).
In fact I'm thinking we should also have the override-version logic
here too.
NOTE: One thing I debated here is inventing a new syntax on the
command line. Git doesn't seem to have this functionality (probably
because it'd be rarely used). The '@' character at least doesn't
conflict with anything.
Anyways, I wanted this for some other test cases. Without this,
writing tests that go between different commits is more awkward as one
must generate the content in one repo, then pull downstream, then
generate more content, then pull again. But now I can just keep track
of commit IDs and do exactly what I want without synchronizing the
tests.
