1) git-clone does not accept a bundle file, even if git-fetch does. I've
made a patch to use git-fetch in git-clone for this.

This, along with rewriting git-clone as a very thin wrapper over git-init,
-remote and -fetch, is a really low hanging fruit.

For the basic/normal mode it can be a very thin wrapper but you have
to support --local, --shared, --reference...

2) The bundles created with "git bundle" does not record the HEAD, they
resolve the symbolic name to a branch name.

It imitates ls-remote output.

No, it does not.

With a newly created project with one commit:

$ git ls-remote git.git
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf        HEAD
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf        refs/heads/master

$ git bundle create git.bdl HEAD master

$ git bundle list-heads git.bdl
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master
