Merge branch 'sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration'
Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate

* sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration:
Documentation/clone: document ignored configuration variables
clone: respect additional configured fetch refspecs during initial fetch
clone: use a more appropriate variable name for the default refspec
