I am fine with this change. Apart from the negative connotations of
the terminology, promoting the idea that branch names are always chosen
by convention is good. Having a different default branch name than Git
helps to spread the idea that branch names aren't necessarily the same
everywhere.

The test assumes that the repository created by the test_init() function
contains a 'master' branch which will collide with the default 'master'
branch which is used by got import without your patch.
You can either modify the test to pass '-b master' to 'got import',
or add a 'main' branch in the Git repository at the beginning of the test,
or perhaps even modify test_init() to create a 'main' branch instead of
'master' in all tests (which might cause additional test fallout).

Regarding the man page changes:

Assuming that people use these instructions verbatim when trying to work
against the openbsd src.git repo from github, this command will now fail.

Should we adjust all examples, or just some of them?
Should the examples just keep using 'master' throughout?
I am not sure.

Same here.
