I'm fine with making the change if (a) we have an alias (created with "git 
symbolic-ref", I suppose) to avoid breaking existing checkouts, at least 
for reading and (b) the hook / hook configuration changes to handle "main" 
the same as master are done before the "main" name is set up.

If the alias might end up getting removed, add (c) build-many-glibcs.py is 
set up to transition its checkouts to the new name automatically, at least 
a year in advance of the removal.

An alias is not of course needed for release/2.35/main if no branch 
release/2.35/master was ever created, but some of the hook changes *are* 
needed to apply appropriate commit rules to release/2.35/main.
