GitLab, GitHub, and BitBucket already have this as their default init branch name. I have not seen any compelling reasons not to make this change anywhere, but plenty of reasons for making this change.

See e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/technology/racist-computer-engineering-terms-ietf.html for background.

Looks like I don’t have enough permissions to rename or change the default branch. @JonnyJD something you can look into? :x
