[PATCH 5/9] Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branch

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active
remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads
point to the same commit.  Maybe it would be more useful to a new
user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the
same.

More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so
that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote
branch.  The next paragraph addresses that directly, but
clarifying the initial content of the branch should make it
clearer why a pull is required at all (that local and remote
branches each have their own history after the clone).
