ExternalProject: Fix regression in GIT_TAG with remote branch name
The change in commit v3.8.0-rc2~7^2 (ExternalProject: Run `git checkout` with `--` to clarify arguments, 2017-02-24) broke the case of `GIT_TAG some-remote-branch` because an explicit `--` means that the preceding argument is a tree-ish instead of a branch. Revert the change and leave a comment. Fixes: #16763
