[Evergreen-dev] Changing branch name "master" to "main" at the conference

Hi, all.

I know calling the main branch "main" is all the rage these days, but 
I'd like to ask why not call it "trunk?"  It's the default for SVN and 
possibly CVS, IIRC.  It's also still in our configure.ac.

Cheers,
Jason
