clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref

It's possible that users make a typo in the branch name. Stop and let
users recheck. Falling back to remote's HEAD is not documented any
way.

Except when using remote helper, the pack has not been transferred at
this stage yet so we don't waste much bandwidth.
