Subject: [BUG] cannot git clone with includeif onbranch
Message-ID: <72771da0-a0ef-4fd9-8071-6467cd7b6a6b@kernel-space.org>

Hi,

below the bug report, not totally sure this is a bug btw.

---

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

Perform a git clone https with includeif onbranch in the .gitconfig

Create a .gitconfig
with
[includeIf "onbranch:wip/pippo/**"]
         path = ~/.gitconfig.pippo.inc

git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS.git

Cloning into 'no-OS'...
BUG: refs.c:2083: reference backend is unknown
error: git-remote-https died of signal 6

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Proper clone

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Error above

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
I cannot clone

Anything else you want to add:
I am assuming that cloning is outside from any gitdir so should ingnore
onbranch.

Please review the rest of the bug report below.
