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.
