download/git: quickly exit when the cset does not exist

Check that the given cset is indeed something we can checkout. If not,
then exit early.

This will be useful when a later commit will trap any failing git
command to try to recover the repository by doing a clone from scratch:
when the cset is not a commit, it does not mean the repository is broken
or what, and re-cloning from scratch would not help, so no need to trash
a good cache.
