Description
react-native-platform-override relies on Git for a variety of functionality. It keeps a temp local repository with react-native-sources where it runs git commands to perform local operations.
In a significant subset of cases we will already have files present locally. Using them when available could avoid excess checkouts or unneeded clones.

Research direction
Locate the react-native-platform-override implementation that manages the temporary react-native-sources repository and runs Git commands. Trace how local files are discovered, then define completion as using available node_modules files before performing Git checkouts or clones; no test file is identified in the issue.
