The series that Jakub mentioned is probably nd/clone-detached 5ce2b97,
which is already included in your tree. Does 1.7.9 work?

I tried but it was ok for me. I think ref processing at local probably
goes wrong and does not request commit from HEAD.  If the repo is not
confidential, you can zip it and send me.
