[PATCH/RFC 6/6] clone: send refspec for single-branch clones

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Apr 15, 2016, 19:19 UTC
Message-ID
<1460747949-3514-7-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1460747949-3514-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

For single-branch clones (when we know in advance what the remote branch name will be), send a refspec so that the server doesn't tell us about any other refs.
