Treat CloneCommand.setBranch(null) as setBranch("HEAD")

This method is documented to take a branch name (not a possibly null
string).  The only way a caller could have set null without either
re-setting to a sane value afterward or producing NullPointerException
was to also call setNoCheckout(true), in which case there would have
been no reason to set the branch in the first place.

Make setBranch(null) request the default behavior (remote's default
branch) instead, imitating C git's clone --no-branch.
