possible options are:

• branch: an optional String to specify the name of a git branch
• cronTime: any CronTime format supported by cron
• noCertificateCheck: a boolean for whether or not to disable HTTPS certificate checking

cb is a function that will be called every time there is an error or after the git repository is updated with a new commit. it will be called node-style, with an Error (if any) as the first argument and a NodeGit Commit (if any) as the second argument.

cronJob returned by gitSync() is a CronJob which can be .stop() or .start().

then set the noCertificateCheck option to true.
