What happens

I cloned a mirror of forgejo/forgejo with madt_clone repository=MIRROR_URL depth=1 branch=v15.0.6. The result line printed (branch: master).

The checkout is the tag, not master. In the clone, git log -1 --decorate printed 5f7e2e5 (grafted, HEAD, tag: v15.0.6).

Why it matters

I read the result line to confirm what I cloned. (branch: master) says that the clone ignored branch=, so I clone again, or I distrust a correct checkout.

Ask

When branch= names a tag, print the tag, for example (tag: v15.0.6, detached HEAD).
When branch= names a branch, print that branch.
Add one test for each case.
