Sometimes could not checkout ref error happens.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a repo with 1_2_3_20201010 branch (ex: https://github.com/andry81-tests/vcstool-test-A)
Switch to master branch:
```
git switch --orphan master
```

Create .externals:

repositories:

  _externals/1_2_3_20201010:
    type:             git
    url:              https://github.com/andry81-tests/vcstool-test-A
    version:          1_2_3_20201010

Import .externals:
```
vcs import < .externals
```
=== ._externals/1_2_3_20201010 (git) ===
Could not checkout ref '12320201010': fatal: invalid reference: 12320201010

>git --version
git version 2.24.0.windows.2

Seems bug in the yaml parser, because this works:

repositories:

  _externals/1_2_3_20201010:
    type:             git
    url:              https://github.com/andry81-tests/vcstool-test-A
    version:          '1_2_3_20201010'
