Description
With `target_prefix: v` in `clone_branch`, the first time you run you get:
```

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', '-C', '/opt/compiler-explorer/libs/nvtx/v3.0.1', 'checkout', '-q', '3.0.1']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
```
The result is a directory called `v3.0.1` :
```
$ ls /opt/compiler-explorer/libs/nvtx/
v3.0.1/
```
the second run completes without issue.
```

```
I was imagining the prefix would apply to the `tag` checked out, not the directory on disk? Maybe I misunderstand; that is I expected the direcotyr to be `{name}` and the tag `v{name}` but obviously I can rename. Either way, the first run doesn't complete successfully, perhaps due to confusion elsewhere.
