Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Repository.Clone, CloneOptions.Checkout=false, and FetchOptions configured for all tags. Trace the clone handling of the Checkout option and verify completion by confirming that no branch is checked out, including when develop or master is absent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Reproduction steps

Clone a repo like so:

Repository.Clone(remoteDir, localDir, new CloneOptions()
{
    Checkout = false,
    FetchOptions = new FetchOptions() { TagFetchMode = TagFetchMode.All }
});
Expected behavior

No branch is checked out.

Actual behavior

A branch gets checked out. Even if develop or master are missing, it takes the first branch it can find.
