Recently, 6f48d39f (clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking,
2012-01-16) tried to record if a remote helper needs to be called after
parsing the remote when transport_get() is called, by overwriting the
field meant to store the configured remote helper name in the remote
structure.

This is OK when a remote represents a single remote repository, but fails
miserably when pushing to locations with multiple URLs, like this:

    $ cat .git/config
    [remote "origin"]
        url = https://code.google.com/p/git-htmldocs/
        url = github.com:gitster/git-htmldocs.git
        push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
    $ git push

The second url that is supposed to use the git-over-ssh transport
mistakenly use https:// and fails with:

    error: Couldn't resolve host 'github.com:gitster' while accessing
    github.com:gitster/git-htmldocs.git/info/refs
    fatal: HTTP request failed

The right solution would probably be to dedicate a separate field to store
the detected external helper to be used, which is valid only during a
single use of transport until it is disconnected, instead of overwriting
foreign_vcs field, but in the meantime, this band-aid should suffice.

Because a tag ref cannot be put to HEAD, HEAD will become detached.
This is consistent with "git checkout <tag>".

This is mostly useful in shallow clone, where it allows you to clone a
tag in addtion to branches.

It's possible that users make a typo in the branch name. Stop and let
users recheck. Falling back to remote's HEAD is not documented any
way.

Except when using remote helper, the pack has not been transferred at
this stage yet so we don't waste much bandwidth.

It does not make sense to look outside refs/heads for HEAD's target
(src_ref_prefix can be set to "refs/" if --mirror is used) because ref
code only allows symref in form refs/heads/...

This gives us an opportunity to abort the command during remote HEAD
check without wasting much bandwidth.

Cloning with remote-helper remains before the check because the remote
helper updates mapped_refs, which is necessary for remote ref checks.
foreign_vcs field is used to indicate the transport is handled by
remote helper.

If we don't write, HEAD is still at refs/heads/master as initialized
by init-db, which may or may not match remote's HEAD.

When --single-branch is given, only one branch, either HEAD or one
specified by --branch, will be fetched. Also only tags that point to
the downloaded history are fetched.

This helps most in shallow clones, where it can reduce the download to
minimum and that is why it is enabled by default when --depth is given.

Since the relative submodule URLs have been introduced in f31a522a, they
do not conform to the rules for resolving relative URIs but rather to
those of relative directories.

Document that behavior.

git-repo if interupted at the exact wrong time will generate zero
length bundles- literal empty files.  git-repo is wrong here, but
git fetch shouldn't effectively spin loop if pointed at a zero
length bundle.
