I don't have a strong opinion on the specific color of this bikeshed
("master" is convenient because it's less work to implement, "trunk" is
what I got used to back in Bzr days and what I thus keep using locally,
but "main" is more meaningful (and "virtue signaling")).

My original plan was to rename `new-master` to `master`, but I'd be
happy to rename it to `main` instead.  My earlier question remains,
tho: how do I arrange for

    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git

to put the user into that `main` branch rather than into `master`?
