[issue639] clone updates to tip of default branch even when default is inactive

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

New submission from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos at serpentine.com>:

When I clone a repo with multiple branches, where each branch is a lineal
descendant of every other branch, clone updates the working dir to the tip of
default, even though default is effectively inactive.

If there's a descendant of default, it should update to the tip of that instead.
