Checking out source as tobuild is not ideal #243

Description

@abitmore

Since #239, gitian builder checks out the target tag, branch or commit as a new tobuild tag for building, which is not ideal, because it modifies data in the local git repository. Specifically, by doing so, the git describe --tags command (probably used in source code or build wrapper scripts) may return tobuild unexpectedly (E.G. this code (it would be patched later to remove the new tag before building)).
