From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> There is a `GIT_TEST_*` environment variable and a `core.` config setting (with the former taking precendence over the latter) to allow overriding what name Git uses by default as main branch of new repositories. Now that all kinds of Git operations have learned to respect those, let's document them.
