How to checkout a specific version from Git

This is useful for getting a known good VVV version, for instance:

# make a new blank repository in the current directory
git init

# add a remote
git remote add origin url://to/source/repository

# fetch a commit (or branch or tag) of interest
# Note: the full history of this commit will be retrieved
git fetch origin <sha1-of-commit-of-interest>

# reset this repository's master branch to the commit of interest
git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD

(Cribbed from Stackoverflow)

If you already have VVV checked out, just miss off the first git init and git remote add commands.
