fix: Use git mirror clones to expose branches correctly#112
Conversation
Workstations couldn't see new remote branches after git fetch because cachew's mirrors stored refs as refs/remotes/origin/* instead of refs/heads/*. Using git clone --mirror creates bare repositories with the correct ref structure that git clients expect, allowing branches to be properly fetched and checked out.

Previously git checkout wasn't able to switch to git branches
Now cachew stores the refs in the correct path (
refs/head) instead of `` andgit checkoutworks
