Ah, I realized we have much better mechanism already in the form of GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME environment. So, my three wishes in this message now become - lose PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH prerequisite as quickly as possible by doing the following two. - Use that mechanism to force 'main' in test scripts that now only can work with 'main', even before we change the fallback default from master to main in the production code, so that we won't lose test coverage. - The same for test scripts that are not converted yet to force use of 'master', so that we could change the fallback default from master to main in the production code even before converting these other scripts, so that we won't lose test coverage. Thanks.
