The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables. This contradicts to the documentation stating that
configuration variables specified via 'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...'
"take effect immediately after the repository is initialized, but
before the remote history is fetched" and the given example
specifically mentions "adding additional fetch refspecs to the origin
remote". Furthermore, one-shot configuration variables specified via
'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not written to the newly
created repository's config file, live during the lifetime of the
'clone' command, including the initial fetch. This implies that any
fetch refspecs specified this way should already be taken into account
during the initial fetch.
The reason is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged 'git
fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport machinery,
bypassing parts of 'git fetch' that processes configured fetch
refspecs. The configured refspecs are, however, read and parsed
properly when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at
the parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.
Modify clone to take the configured fetch refspecs into account to
retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch. Note that the
configuration at that point only includes the fetch refspecs specified
by the user, but it doesn't include the default fetch refspec, so we
have to append it manually at the end of the parsed refspecs array.
Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies the remote name via '--origin=<name>'.
