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...

That is not all that difficult.

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
b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master

Ah, I misunderstood.  I thought you were expecting that the first line 
would read

	refs/heads/master	HEAD

Alas, this behaviour stems from dwim_ref() returning "refs/heads/master" 
as real ref.

I am not quite sure how to solve this, though.  Let me see what I can come 
up with.

Ciao,
