Feature Request: Move git cloner to to go-git

[jasonrichardsmith]

Is the team open to updating the git pull from "exec" to https://github.com/src-d/go-git

[yujunz]

The master branch has included a lite version of hashicorp/go-getter which supports git. It does not suppress the git-cloner at the moment for backward compatibility. See #2278 (comment) for details.

It sounds good to me to replace exec with package, but I would prefer leverage the existing go-getter module to introducing new dependencies.

@yujunz Go-getter looks good, but you still need git if you want to use ssh keys.

I am working on a controller that uses straight git and kustomize/krusty. Having to use git leaves me with a pretty bloated container. I will see if I can override the git implementation. Thank you.
