Hi,
I would like to announce that the primary development branch for OvS
has been renamed main.
The rename occurred a little earlier today.
OVS is currently hosted on GitHub. We can expect the following behaviour
after the rename:
* GitHub pull requests against master should have been automatically
re-homed on main.
* GitHub Issues should not to be affected - the test issue I
created had no association with a branch
* URLs accessed via the GitHub web UI are automatically renamed
* Clones may also rename their primary branch - you may
get a notification about this in the Web UI
As a result of this change it may be necessary to update your local git
configuration for checked out branches.
For example:
# Fetch origin: new remote main branch; remote master branch is deleted
git fetch -tp origin
# Rename local branch
git branch -m master main
# Update local main branch to use remote main branch as it's upstream
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main
If you have an automation that fetches the master branch then please
update the automation to fetch main. If your automation is fetching
main and falling back to master, then it should now be safe to
remove the fallback.
This change is in keeping with OVS's recently OVS adopted a policy of using
the inclusive naming word list v1 [1, 2].

Kind regards,
