This only works on the very new versions of git. Debian's git don't work.

@korli If we're going to do this, we need to check git versions as part of it.

  • git 2.30 has -b on init
  • git 2.20 does not have -b as an opion on init.

a) find the git version in haikuporter, and track what version of git we're using. Then check it before init.
b) revert until newer versions of git are more widely used.

IMO we should just revert this commit for now, then.

We can retry without -b in case of failure.

The branch rename command git branch -M should be available in older versions, which can be used instead.

The problem then is a git version upgrade of the machine could result in two different branch names.

How is it a problem?

Do we really need to change the default branch name here? I think master means "master copy", I do not think it needs to be changed. If Git changes the default branch name in a future release, then that's fine, but I'm not sure we need to care about this so much, especially when nobody will even see the default branch name of these repos for the most part.

Git 2.30 writes 10 lines of hints when we don't name the default branch explicitly (we don't care the branch name).
