This test has been present since long before clone was ported to C. Now there is no need for it, and since df61c88979 (clone: also configure url for bare clones, 2010-03-29) it's especially useful to allow both options.

A question on this constraint popped up on #git the other day. I investigated a bit and found no particular reason for its existence. All tests still pass (except the one removed here) and the behavior is as expected. I realize it might have gone under the radar for 11 years but it's still worth the noise to remove it, in my opinion.

I wanted to include a bit on the reasoning for the original check in the commit message but I couldn't find it.
