dev/release: reference local clone when cloning

Administrator requested to merge k/20220420-reference into main

This drastically speeds up operations for me. Cloning the Sourcegraph repo takes a minute or two for me thanks to Cape Town being a bit too far from GitHub's data centers.

Reference will avoid fetching objects that are already in the local clone. We use the -if-able variant just in case things go wrong, then we still proceed with the normal clone (if not a little slower).

Test Plan: dry run without main branch check then ran the release command. Total time was 28s instead of 1m38s.
