New Git default branch - "main"

We are joining the Git community and updating "master" to "main". Using the term "master" for the main development branch can be offensive to some people. Existing versions of Git have been always capable of working with any branch name and since 2.28.0 (July 2020) the default initial branch is configurable (init.defaultBranch). Since October 2020, the default branch for new repositories on GitHub is "main". Finally, PMD will also use this new name for the main branch in all our own repositories.

Why "main"? PMD uses a very simple branching model - pull requests with feature branches and one main development branch, from which releases are created. That's why "main" is currently the best fitting name.

• https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-the-default-branch-for-newly-created-repositories-is-now-main/

What changes?

• We change the default branch on GitHub, so that pull requests are automatically created against main from now on.

• If you have already a local clone of PMD's repository, you'll need to rename the old master branch locally:

  git branch --move master main
  git fetch origin
  git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main
  git remote set-head origin --auto

• If you created a fork on GitHub, you'll need to change the default branch in your fork to main as
