PATCH 1/1 git.py: Remove -l option, its not necessary

If -l is specified and the source and destination are not on a common filesystem an error occurs. The -l option is however the default for git for local paths which the fetcher already now ensures in the file:// case.

We can therefore safely drop the -l option.
