[petsc-dev] headsup: switch git default branch from 'master' to 'main'

[Pierre Jolivet]

What about https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master <https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master> ? Will it be moved to https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-main <https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-main> or will only https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-dev <https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-dev> remain online?

Thanks,
Pierre
