fix: use working clones for git repos

- Create normal working clones for remote repositories
- Initialize blank repositories with a main branch
- Align pull and branch helpers with unborn HEAD handling
- Gate fetch/pull on repositories with a remote

Quality gates: vitest repositories-settings-tab (passed); api pytest blocked by missing fastapi in environment
