This makes "git clone" use the HEAD information sent by an updated uploader to point the resulting HEAD at the current branch that is not 'master' but happens to point at the same commit as 'master'.
IOW, immediately after doing:
$ git checkout -b another master
a clone made out of that repository will check out 'another' branch, not 'master'.
