Could this be the source of my problems? If so, how do I fix it, or what should I be passing to ‘revision’ instead of the branch name?

It shouldn't matter how you specify the revision. If it's not a commit hash, the provider uses git ls-remote to figure out what the commit is, then uses that from then on.

Looks like the repo you get from `git clone` doesn't contain the SHA it's supposed to have, which is pretty odd since a subsequent `git fetch` picks it up. From the command line, with the same git version, does it fail if you 

COMMIT_ID = git ls-remote GIT_URL BRANCH

git clone REPO

git checkout -b deploy COMMIT_ID
