* extract get_ragweed_branch() out of download() task, for better
readablity.
* use a loop for retry when the first clone fails
* drop the `raise ValueError()` clause as it never happens. we could use
an assert() here, but i don't think it is necessary anyway.
* use sh() instead of run() for better readablity.
* always set ragweed_repo. before this change this variable is
unbounded if `force-branch` is set.
