[PATCH] git-clone: do not forget to create origin branch.

Junio C Hamano· Nov 2, 2005, 06:20 UTC · lore

The newly cloned repository by default had .git/remotes/origin set up to track the remote master to origin, but forgot to create the origin branch ourselves. Also it hardcoded the assumption that the remote HEAD points at "master", which may not always be true.
