Hi,

It used to be possible to continue an interrupted clone when using cg-clone, by cding into the partial repo and run cg-fetch. However, it seems that the recent changes in the ref locking code ends up leaving .lock files around when interrupted.

$ cg clone http://elinks.cz/elinks.git
defaulting to local storage area
Fetching head...
Fetching objects...
...
Getting pack c0e265dab40fa34912c3ee6e02ba29686ab84a7b
 which contains 16f85ec5043966c69e2142198c52e12494dcfc76
progress: 22 objects, 939754 bytes, now fetching c0e265dab40f... (657678 bytes)
cg-clone: interrupted
$ cd elinks
$ cg fetch
Recovering from a previously interrupted initial clone...
Fetching head...
Fetching objects...
error: Couldn't open lock file .git/refs/heads/origin.lock: File exists
error: Can't lock ref heads/origin
progress: 0 objects, 0 bytes
cg-fetch: objects fetch failed
Below is my feeble attempt at a (tested) fix.
