git-clone: fetch possibly detached HEAD over dumb http
git-clone supports cloning from a repo with detached HEAD, but if this HEAD is not behind any branch tip then it would not have been fetched over dumb http, resulting in a fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD Since 928c210a, this would also happen on a http repo with a HEAD that is a symbolic link where someone has forgotton to run update-server-info.
