[Evergreen-general] Git Master Branch Renaming

[Jason Stephenson]

Hello, all.

The information below was sent to the development list earlier today. 
In order to reach the widest audience, it is being resent now.

I will send another reminder roughly 1 week before the change is to take 
place and will send another email to let everyone know after the change 
has been completed.

On June 1 "master" branches in the public Evergreen repositories will be 
renamed to "main."  The June 1 date avoids disruption with the Bug 
Squashing week (May 8 through May 12) and the Evergreen 3.11 Release 
scheduled for May 25.

Once the change has been made, you can update your local repositories by 
running the following commands:

     git fetch --all
     git checkout -b main origin/main
     git branch -d master

The above assumes that your primary remote repository is named "origin." 
  If the main Evergreen git repository has a different name in your 
local repository, substitute that name for "origin" in the above example.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me 
directly or send a message to the list.

Cheers,
Jason Stephenson
