clone: use configured default branch name when appropriate
When cloning a repository without any branches, Git chooses a default
branch name for the as-yet unborn branch.
As part of the implicit initialization of the local repository, Git just
learned to respect `init.defaultBranch` to choose a different initial
branch name. We now really want that branch name to be used as a
fall-back.
