Prior to commit a2d725b7bdf7 ("Use an external program to implement fetching with curl", 2009-08-05), if Git was compiled with NO_CURL, the get_refs_list and fetch methods in struct transport might not be populated, hence the checks in clone and fetch. After that commit, all transports populate get_refs_list and fetch, making the checks in clone and fetch redundant. Remove those checks.
