I opened a ticket with INFRA and this has been completed. The master
branch has been renamed to 'main' for the following repos:

  https://github.com/apache/daffodil
  https://github.com/apache/daffodil-site
  https://github.com/apache/daffodil-vscode
  https://github.com/apache/daffodil-schema.g8

To update your local master branch to track the ain branch, you can run
the following updates if each of your local clones.

  git branch -m master main
  git fetch asf
  git branch -u asf/main main

If you'd like your forked repo to match, you can go to your forked repo
on GitHub, click Settings > click Branches > click the pencil icon next
to master > enter main > Click Rename branch.

I'll update our wiki and open a pull request to update places where we
still reference the master branch.
