git-clone: Support changing the origin branch with -o
Earlier, git-clone stored upstream's master in the branch named 'origin',
possibly overwriting an existing such branch.
Now you can change it by calling git-clone with '-o <other_name>'.
[jc: added ref format check, subdirectory safety, documentation
and usage string.]
