If you have set the init.defaultBranch configuration, we will suppress
the hint you're talking about.

Alternatively, you can make sure that `git init` is invoked with the
`-q` (quiet) flag, which suppresses that warning whether or not you have
set the init.defaultBranch config.

(Here, I'm assuming that the library you're talking about invokes the
git binary and respects its configuration. I'm not sure how much control
you have over the flags that get passed down to the git binary, though).

We could also make it possible to suppress just that advice (with
another advice.* configuration option), but it seems redundant with the
existence of the other two options I discussed above.

Thanks,
