In order to better specify what gets cloned and what does not, one
might also replace "active branch" (under DESCRIPTION) with "current
branch".

According to grep in Documentation/*.txt, "current branch" is used
much more often than "active branch". Most frequent use of term
"active branch" is found in git-fast-import.txt and it seems to mean
something else there.

(The fact that tiny volatile detail - which branch happens to be
checked out at the moment of clone - has profound influence on the
result of clone was quite a surprise for me, so I would like to
see this described as exactly as possible.)
