I can confirm that this does not work on master. There are no usages of 
CloneCommand#setCloneAllBranches and that the method is practically a 
no-op and the javadoc is lying :)

"git branch -a" using c-git tells me that the only local branch is master.

I looked around a bit using the diff tool and the only difference is the 
lack of "packed-refs" file in the repo cloned by jgit.

Here's how I'm using CloneCommand if it is of any help (warning: ruby 
code ahead :)

  def clone(url)
    command = CloneCommand.new.tap do |c|
      # c is an instance of CloneCommand
      c.set_uri                 url
      c.set_bare                true
      c.set_directory           java.io.File.new(File.join(REPO_ROOT, 
repo_path(url)))
      c.set_clone_all_branches  true
    end

    command.call
  end
