This line here says that there is no default branch, so you need to
specify you want the 'c8' branch yourself (or c8s if there is one for
stream, there isn't for amanda, see `git branch -r`)
In that clone you can just `git checkout c8`, or for a fresh clone you
can use the -b option of clone.

So to keep the same example you can do:
$ git clone https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common
$ git clone -b c8 https://git.centos.org/rpms/amanda.git
$ cd amanda
$ ../centos-git-common/get_sources.sh
$ rpmbuild -D "_topdir $PWD" -ba SPECS/amanda.spec
(or mock or whatever)

That should work for pretty much all packages.
