subrepo: clone of git sub-repository creates incorrect git branch (issue3870)
Mercurial handles git subrepos by incorrect way.
If the mercurial repo has a git sub-repo and somebody started
a new branch in the subrepo and push it into git, the next one
who will clone the whole repo will get incorrect branch name in the git
subrepo.

Initialize remote repo with branches:
$ hg init remote
$ cd remote
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Ama
adding a
$ hg branch br
marked working directory as branch br
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -Amb
$ echo c > c
$ hg ci -Amc
adding c
$ hg log
