I think there are two reasonable paths forward:

1) Address Jeff's concerns above so that the symref can be sent.
2) In lieu of (1), have clone at least warn that multiple branches
match and that it just picked one.
I think we should do (2) regardless. Even with an updated client,
remote servers may have an older git which does not support (1) for some
time.

So I guess it's time to refactor guess_remote_head _again_. :)
