Why force designation of a remote main branch?
GitHub seems to require that one of the branches on it be marked as the "primary" branch. I understand this (perhaps mistakenly) to be the `origin/HEAD`. Why would they make it compulsory? On forked repositories, I'm usually making branches and submitting pull requests. There's not really a "main" branch that I want to keep up-to-date. Yet GitHub makes me mark one.
