JGit DFS repository with HEAD pointing to main instead of master [message #1843102]

Hello,

I noticed the create method in DFSRepository class is explicitly pointing the HEAD of a new repository to "refs/heads/master". Does JGit support setting the default HEAD values of a new empty repository to "refs/heads/main"?
I want all new commits made inside a new repo to happen on a "main" branch instead of a "master" branch by default (without any config setups done by the user).
