Incompatible git command

[j-stephan]

Hi,

when trying to follow the installation instructions for the master branch on Ubuntu 16.04 I encountered the following error:

$ python Scripts/UpdateCommon.py 
Cloning common-lib-amd-ADL into /home/jstephan/build/Common/Lib/AMD/ADL

'git clone' failed with return code 129

Using python2 or python3 doesn't make a difference as this is a git error. I'm using the default git version in the Ubuntu repository:

$ git --version
git version 2.7.4

Removing the "no-tags" flag from the script worked for me but I don't know if this will cause issues at some point.

Removing the "--no-tags" from the script will not cause any issues, but may increase the time it takes to clone projects. I don't recall what version of git introduced the "--no-tags" option, but it is available in git v2.11.
