Re: [Non-Bug] cloning a repository with a default MASTER branch tries to check out the master branch

I dunno. I was thinking there might be a quick tweak, but I'm wondering
if this arcane case is worth the restructuring we'd have to do to
support it. It only comes up when you've moved the server repo's HEAD to
an unborn branch _and_ you have other refs (since otherwise we don't
even send capabilities at all!).

Thanks for digging.  You made me to start doubting it is worth
doing, too.
