Stefan Beller	8fbb03a180	clone tests: rename t57* => t56* When trying to find a good spot for testing clone with submodules, I got confused where to add a new test file. There are both tests in t560* as well as t57* both testing the clone command. t/README claims the second digit is to indicate the command, which is inconsistent to the current naming structure. Rename all t57* tests to be in t56* to follow the pattern of the digits as laid out in t/README. It would have been less work to rename t56* => t57* because there are less files, but the tests in t56* look more basic and I assumed the higher the last digits the more complicated niche details are tested, so with the patch now it looks more in order to me.

Jeff King	c1921c184c	clone: always fetch remote HEAD In most cases, fetching the remote HEAD explicitly is unnecessary. It's just a symref pointing to a branch which we are already fetching, so we will already ask for its sha1. However, if the remote has a detached HEAD, things are less certain. We do not ask for HEAD's sha1, but we do try to write it into a local detached HEAD. In most cases this is fine, as the remote HEAD is pointing to some part of the history graph that we will fetch via the refs. But if the remote HEAD points to an "orphan" commit (one which was is not an ancestor of any refs), then we will not have the object, and update_ref will complain when we try to write the detached HEAD, aborting the whole clone. This patch makes clone always explicitly ask the remote for the sha1 of its HEAD commit. In the non-detached case, this is a no-op, as we were going to ask for that sha1 anyway. In the regular detached case, this will add an extra "want" to the protocol negotiation, but will not change the history that gets sent. And in the detached orphan case, we will fetch the orphaned history so that we can write it into our local detached HEAD.

Jeff King	61adfd3097	consider only branches in guess_remote_head The guess_remote_head function tries to figure out where a remote's HEAD is pointing by comparing the sha1 of the remote's HEAD with the sha1 of various refs found on the remote. However, we were too liberal in matching refs, and would match tags or remote tracking branches, even though these things could not possibly be referenced by the HEAD symbolic ref (since git will detach when checking them out). As a result, a clone of a remote repository with a detached HEAD might write "refs/tags/*" into our local HEAD, which is bogus. The resulting HEAD should be detached. The other related code path is remote.c's get_head_names() (which is used for, among other things, "set-head -a"). This was not affected, however, as that function feeds only refs from refs/heads to guess_remote_head.

Jeff King	3b368546a0	t: add tests for cloning remotes with detached HEAD We didn't test this setup at all, and doing so reveals a few bugs: 1. Cloning a repository with an orphaned detached HEAD (i.e., one that points to history that is not referenced by any ref) will fail. 2. Cloning a repository with a detached HEAD that points to a tag will cause us to write a bogus "refs/tags/..." ref into the HEAD symbolic ref. We should probably detach instead. 3. Cloning a repository with a detached HEAD that points to a branch will cause us to checkout that branch. This is a known limitation of the git protocol (we have to guess at HEAD's destination, since the symref contents aren't shown to us). This test serves to document the desired behavior, which can only be achieved once the git protocol learns to share symref information.
