Fix "git clone" for git:// protocol
In ba227857(Reduce the number of connects when fetching), we checked the return value of git_connect() to see if the connection was successful. However, for the git:// protocol, there is no need to have another process, so the return value was NULL. Now, it makes sense to assume the rule that git_connect() will return NULL if it fails (at the moment, it die()s if it fails), so return a dummy child process.
