Redirect on GetBranch #1895
Description
It's common for master branch to be renamed to main branch.
I noticed that when trying to get a renamed master branch, I normally get a 301:
$ curl -i -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/asraa/asraa.github.io/branches/master
HTTP/2 301

}
But using go-github, I get a 404 response. Is there any way to handle the 301 response and include the redirect URL in the response body when calling GetBranch?
