Thanks.

Your patch still has two codepaths that set the branch.*.merge and other
information and they can diverge with later changes.  You can refactor
them even more to avoid that risk, like the attached patch.

The test is taken from your patch but runs inside a subshell, so that
later tests others may add to the script will be safer from the
environment variable settings and chdir this test does.

When git-clone creates an initial branch it was not checking the
branch.autosetuprebase configuration option (which may exist in
~/.gitconfig).  Refactor the code used by "git branch" to create
a new branch, and use it instead of the insufficiently duplicated code
in builtin-clone.
