clone with named branches (was Re: 0.9.4 does not correctly update my project)

[Dustin Sallings]

	OK, within seconds of hitting send, I figured out what's special  
about db0f9fb34cf1 -- it was the last changeset before I discovered  
named branches.

	The meaning of the ``default'' branch isn't completely clear, and  
I'm obviously using named branches incorrectly.

	Sorry for the confusion.  The change in behavior sort of freaked me  
out.
