When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD.
But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the
target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local
init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because
most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to
cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose
different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose
"master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised
when they push to "master" and not "main").
To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD
symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this
information.
Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are
not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the
"unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but
server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn
config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn"
argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with
the name of its unborn target.
This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0
would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous
position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the
data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2.
The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit.

The 'dist' target uses a versioned temp directory, $(GIT_TARNAME), into
which it copies various files added to the distribution tarball. Should
it be necessary to remove this directory in the 'clean' target, since
the name depends on $(GIT_VERSION), the current HEAD must be positioned
on the same commit as when 'make dist' was issued. Otherwise, the target
will fail to remove that directory.
Create an '.dist-tmp-dir' directory and copy the various files into this
now un-versioned directory while creating the distribution tarball. Change
the 'clean' target to remove the '.dist-tmp-dir' directory, instead of the
version dependent $(GIT_TARNAME) directory.

The 'clean' target includes code to remove an '*.tar.gz' file that
was the by-product of a debian build. This was originally added by
commit 5a571cdd8a (Clean generated files a bit more, to cope with
Debian build droppings., 2005-08-12). However, all support for the
'debian build' was dropped by commit 7d0e65b892 (Retire debian/
directory., 2006-01-06), which seems to have simply forgotten to
remove the 'git-core_$(GIT_VERSION)-*.tar.gz' from the 'clean'
target. Remove it now.

The 'clean' target is still noticeably slow on cygwin, despite the
improvements made by previous patches. For example, the second
invocation of 'make clean' below:
$ make clean >/dev/null 2>&1
$ make clean
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git/gitweb'
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git'
make[2]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.

has been timed at 10.361s on my laptop (an old core i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz,
8GB RAM, 1TB HDD).
Notice that the 'clean' target is making a nested call to the parent
Makefile to ensure that the GIT-VERSION-FILE is up-to-date. This is to
ensure that the $(GIT_VERSION) make variable is set, once that file had
been included. However, the 'clean' target does not use the $(GIT_VERSION)
variable, directly or indirectly, so it does not have any affect on what
the target removes. Therefore, the time spent on ensuring an up to date
GIT-VERSION-FILE is wasted effort.
In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal
$(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include ../GIT-VERSION-FILE' when the
target is not 'clean'. (This drops the time down to 8.430s, on my laptop,
giving an improvement of 18.64%).

The 'clean' target is noticeably slow on cygwin, even for a 'do-nothing'
invocation of 'make clean'. For example, the second 'make clean' below:

i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD).
Notice that, since the 'doc.dep' file does not exist, make takes the
time (about 8s) to generate several files in order to create the doc.dep
include file. (If an 'include' file is missing, but a target for the
said file is present in the Makefile, make will execute that target
and, if that file now exists, throw away all its internal data and
re-read and re-parse the Makefile). Having spent the time to include
the 'doc.dep' file, the 'clean' target immediately deletes those files.
The document dependencies specified in the 'doc.dep' include file,
expressed as make targets and prerequisites, do not affect what the
'clean' target removes. Therefore, the time spent in generating the
dependencies is completely wasted effort.
In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal
$(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include doc.dep' when the target is
not 'clean'. (This drops the time down to 12.364s, on my laptop, giving
an improvement of 47.02%).

To allow us to consider a change in the default behavior of `git init`
where it uses a more inclusive name for the initial branch, we must
first teach the test suite not to rely on a specific default branch
name. In this patch, we teach t7064 that trick.
To that end, we set a specific name for the initial branch. Ideally, we
would simply start out by calling `git branch -M initial-branch`, but
there is a bug in `git branch -M` that does not allow renaming branches
unless they already have commits. This will be fixed in the
`js/init-defaultbranch-advice` topic, and until that time, we use the
equivalent (but less intuitive) `git checkout -f --orphan`.
