If they are empty, what exactly do you mean to clone?
I'd expect an empty repository, with the git remote configured
correctly.
Yeah, right.
Last time I checked, those geneticists did not clone thin air. They
always waited until they had something to clone.
But we're not geneticists, and I think the above usage should "just work
(tm)".
I am still convinced that it is not very intelligent to start your
development from a non-existing branch.
That's what happens with every new project though. The question is if
something starts with making space for things to be in, or if it starts
with things appearing in that space.
But since you're one of the people knowing git _internals_ pretty well,
here's another reason just for you why this cannot be done: There is no
way to find out where the HEAD points to.
$ mkdir foo; cd foo; git init; git symbolic-ref -q HEAD
refs/heads/master
