At first reading I thought you meant the 'origin/HEAD' symref, which is
not the case here. I think something like this would maybe be clearer:
If the clone is not bare, skip the creation of a local branch corresponding to
the branch pointed to by the remote's HEAD symref (bare clones...
to local branches, so that branch ...
(OK this is very verbose but in my opinion it's clearer.)

We are just skipping the creation of a single branch here, so it's unclear
to me which other branches are being talked about in this last paragraph.
All remote-tracking branches are unaffected by this flag, no?

Again, I think the wording could be improved, maybe something along those lines:
If the cloned repository's HEAD points to a branch, detach the newly created HEAD
at the commit at the tip of that branch. Additionnally, in a non-bare repository,
skip creating a corresponding local branch.

OK, so the addition of that condition means that if --detach was given, we now
go into the 'else if (our)' branch, as long as 'our' is non-null, which means
that the remote's HEAD points to a branch or we gave --branch. This makes sense.
If the remote's HEAD does not point to a branch and we did not give --branch,
then we go into 'else if (remote)', as before.

Tests look good.
