Heya folks

When cloning a repo with the git-gui, it creates a branch branch
called master even if there is no such branch on the remote. In fact
it will create a branch according to whatever value init.defaultBranch
is set. Tracking branches are set up correctly. This doesn’t happen
using git cli, so I don’t think it should happen using the gui.

Cheers,
Joe
