It may be better to just add the "-b" parameter, and specify the branch 
name instead of the tag - which is UDK2018, instead of vUDK2018. e.g.:

git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git -b UDK2018


An example on my machine:

bcran@muon:~/workspace % git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git 
-b UDK2018

Cloning into 'edk2'...

If you specify the tag, vUDK2018 when cloning, you're put into the 
'detached HEAD' state instead.
