The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables, e.g. '-c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec>'. This contradicts
the documentation stating that configuration variables specified via
'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...' "take effect immediately after the
repository is initialized, but before the remote history is fetched"
and the given example specifically mentions "adding additional fetch
refspecs to the origin remote". Furthermore, one-shot configuration
variables specified via 'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not
written to the newly created repository's config file, live during the
lifetime of the 'clone' command, including the initial fetch. All
this implies that any fetch refspecs specified this way should already
be taken into account during the initial fetch.
The reason for this is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged
'git fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport
machinery with clone's own refs-to-refspec matching logic, which
bypasses parts of 'git fetch' processing configured fetch refspecs.
This logic only considers a single default refspec, potentially
influenced by options like '--single-branch' and '--mirror'. The
configured refspecs are, however, already read and parsed properly
when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at the
parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.
Modify clone to take the remote's configured fetch refspecs into
account to retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch. Note
that we have to explicitly add the default fetch refspec to the
remote's refspecs, because at that point the remote only includes the
fetch refspecs specified on the command line.
Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies an alternative remote name via '--origin=<name>'.

"git clone --config" uses the following incantation to add an item to
a config file, instead of replacing an existing value:
git_config_set_multivar_gently(key, value, "^$", 0)
As long as no existing value matches the regex ^$, that works as
intended and adds to the config. When a value is empty, though, it
replaces the existing value.
Noticed while trying to set credential.helper during a clone to use a
specific helper without inheriting from ~/.gitconfig and
/etc/gitconfig. That is, I ran
git clone -c credential.helper= \
-c credential.helper=myhelper \
https://example.com/repo
intending to produce the configuration
[credential]
helper =
helper = myhelper
Without this patch, the 'helper =' line is not included and the
credential helper from /etc/gitconfig gets used.

On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a
dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to
customize this behaviour.
* js/windows-dotgit:
mingw: remove unnecessary definition
mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting

When trying to find a good spot for testing clone with submodules, I
got confused where to add a new test file. There are both tests in t560*
as well as t57* both testing the clone command. t/README claims the
second digit is to indicate the command, which is inconsistent to the
current naming structure.
Rename all t57* tests to be in t56* to follow the pattern of the digits
as laid out in t/README.
It would have been less work to rename t56* => t57* because there are less
files, but the tests in t56* look more basic and I assumed the higher the
last digits the more complicated niche details are tested, so with the patch
now it looks more in order to me.
