clone: always fetch remote HEAD
In most cases, fetching the remote HEAD explicitly is
unnecessary. It's just a symref pointing to a branch which
we are already fetching, so we will already ask for its sha1.
However, if the remote has a detached HEAD, things are less
certain. We do not ask for HEAD's sha1, but we do try to
write it into a local detached HEAD. In most cases this is
fine, as the remote HEAD is pointing to some part of the
history graph that we will fetch via the refs.
But if the remote HEAD points to an "orphan" commit (one
which was is not an ancestor of any refs), then we will not
have the object, and update_ref will complain when we try to
write the detached HEAD, aborting the whole clone.
This patch makes clone always explicitly ask the remote for
the sha1 of its HEAD commit. In the non-detached case, this
is a no-op, as we were going to ask for that sha1 anyway. In
the regular detached case, this will add an extra "want" to
the protocol negotiation, but will not change the history
that gets sent. And in the detached orphan case, we will
fetch the orphaned history so that we can write it into our
local detached HEAD.
