No need to restart drone. Either delete the `plugins/git`image from docker cache or add `pull: true`

Solution described above seem to work for new pull request just fine. I got error while cloning ref, then drone waited for 5 seconds and succeed on second attempt.

But, if you update **existing** pull request cloning does not fail. It silently takes previous version, while interface shows latest one. Is there any solution/workaround for this?
