Fail properly when cloning from invalid HTTP URL
Currently, when cloning from invalid HTTP URL, git clone will possibly return curl error, then a confusing message about remote HEAD and then return success and leave an empty repository behind, confusing either the end-user or the automated service calling it (think repo.or.cz). This patch changes the error() calls in get_refs_via_curl() to die()s, akin to the other get_refs_*() functions.
