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, ...

... 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.

And of course, this is what we want:

Thanks.
