git pull [<remote>] uses the first branch of 'remote' if there is no
special branch.name.{merge,remote} configuration.  But git clone will
setup remote.origin.fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* which
uses wildcards and isn't used as 'first branch'.  You can add another
remote.origin.fetch line before this one in .git/config with

    fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

which worked for me.
