init: allow setting the default for the initial branch name via the config We just introduced the command-line option `--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one. To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently (i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every `git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config setting.

clone: use configured default branch name when appropriate When cloning a repository without any branches, Git chooses a default branch name for the as-yet unborn branch. As part of the implicit initialization of the local repository, Git just learned to respect `init.defaultBranch` to choose a different initial branch name. We now really want that branch name to be used as a fall-back.

clone: respect remote unborn HEAD Teach Git to use the "unborn" feature introduced in a previous patch as follows: Git will always send the "unborn" argument if it is supported by the server. During "git clone", if cloning an empty repository, Git will use the new information to determine the local branch to create. In all other cases, Git will ignore it.
