+1 for switching to "main", and for postponing any possible further changes until after that's done.

I spoke to Jan Dubois about the 'main' vs. 'release' consideration, and he found this PR:
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/655
which indicates that the new default branch name for `git init` will be 'main' (if/when the PR is merged).

This seems to be fairly strong argument to use 'main' as the default branch name.

I'll raise this with the Extensions PMC project leads and recommend switching to 'main'.
