Actually I only wanted to change one line to prevent a crash, when you
specify a non existing branch when cloning:
-                       if (option_branch) {
+                       if (option_branch && our_head_points_at) {

However it turns out this is not a good idea as we still want to setup
'remote.*.fetch', which previously depended the string buffer 'value'
being non empty.
Therefore I added a local variable 'set_remote', which determines whether
we want to setup 'remote.*.fetch'.


While staring at the code, I also think it is a good idea to restructure
the if clauses a little as previously we had
        if (option_mirror || !option_bare) {
                if (option_single_branch && !option_mirror) {
The 'option_mirror' is part of both ifs, but opposing each other.
This is not yet done in this patch, as it still needs some thinking how to
remove the nesting of the if clauses in a nice way.
