Description

It seems that there was an oversight when implementing the branch name parsing in `ENVBUILDER_GIT_URL` resulting in an inability to use a specific branch when cloning using an SSH URL.

Could we look into implementing this?

> When I work with a public repository and use HTTPS, everything works fine. I can clone the main branch and even specify another branch, as described in the documentation, like this:
> ENVBUILDER_GIT_URL=https://github.com/coder/envbuilder-starter-devcontainer/#refs/heads/my-feature-branch
> However, when I switch to a private repository that requires SSH authentication, I can successfully clone the main branch, but I'm unable to specify a different branch (e.g., sample-branch). Here's the Git URL format I'm using for the private repo:

> ENVBUILDER_GIT_URL=git@gitlab.com:your-group/your-repo.git/#refs/heads/sample-branch
