[PATCH 1/6] t0018: switch default branch name to main

From

Message-ID
<7c20f7693f4518ef79be0a2277515bb00d912213.1756308283.git.phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>
In-Reply-To

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

These tests use "trunk" as the default branch name but the exact name of the branch is incidental to testing if the advice message includes it. Git 3.0 will change the default branch name to "main" and remove support for GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME so change these test to use "main" instead of "topic".
