Subject: [PATCH] t7817: do not depend on any specific default branch name
Message-ID: <pull.808.git.1607115981367.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.808.git.1607115981367.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com

```
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Elsewhere, we introduced support to override the default branch name in
the tests via `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME`. Therefore, we
should avoid expecting a particular hard-coded name in test scripts.

So let's rename the initial branch immediately to `main` and work with
that.

This avoids breakages in t7817 when the default branch name is changed.
