To address that, I spent some time to convert just the affected scripts to using main, adjusting them in a way where they do not depend on the name git init gave the initial branch at all, which allowed me to drop that prereq altogether. None of these changes should be controversial, intentionally so, to allow this patch series to go in before v2.30.0 is tagged, so that we can enjoy the full coverage of the test suite again.
Thanks for taking care of this one. The titles all imply that we are committed to switch the default to 'main', but I understand that the focus is more about using a hardcoded initial branch in these tests, so that the tests will not be affected when the default changes from 'master' to any other value, even when the ":dirname" and ":random" magic were to be invented and used as the default ;-) So these may get unwarranted "who says we gained a concensus to change the default in that direction?" complaint, which might want to be reworded, ...
t3200: finish transitioning to the initial branch name `main` t3201: finalize transitioning to using the branch name `main` t3203: complete the transition to using the branch name `main` t3205: finalize transitioning to using the branch name `main` t5505: finalize transitioning to using the branch name `main`
... but these just make a statement of fact (i.e. these scripts use X as initial branch name), and less likely to confuse the matter.
t1400: use `main` as initial branch name t5510: use `main` as initial branch name t5703: use `main` as initial branch name t6302: use `main` as initial branch name t9902: use `main` as initial branch name
And of course, this is what we want:
tests: drop the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq
Thanks.
