It turns out that this series, as a side effect, fixes a long-standing bug
that the --branch option cannot be used with the --mirror option.

I am tempted to merge it also to 1.7.9.1 maintenance track. The issue is
minor (you can always clone with --mirror and then switch the branch with
"checkout") and it does not look like it warrants further backpointing to
1.7.8 and older releases, though.

Comments and/or objections?

No objections. Does it fix a failed test? If not, should we add a test
to record this side effect fix?

Replying to myself.

Regardless of "'refs/heads/$branch' is not found because we do not look
for in the right place" issue, shouldn't the use of the --mirror without
the --bare option forbidden or at least warned about?

--mirror implies --bare in cmd_clone() if I read it correctly.
