[PATCH] clone: don't say <branch> when we mean <remote>

The manpage says <name> which might actually be a better word to use
everywhere, but having <branch> instead of <remote> can only lead to
confusion.

Looking through blame, the second line survived a typo fix and was
introduced in 2008 when clone was made a builtin. The script used to
say <name>. So it's clearly nothing urgent, but it bugged me, so I'm
sending a patch.
