Description Thomas Wolf CLA 2023-07-22 05:54:46 EDT 
Steps to reproduce:

* Set init.defaultBranch = main in the git user config
* Create a new Eclipse project (General Project is fine)
* Choose Team->Share... from the context menu on the new project
* Click "Use or create a repository in parent folder of project" in the dialog
* Select the project
* Click "Create Repository"
* Finish the dialog.
* Open the repository in the staging view: it'll indicate unborn branch "master".

As a work-around, after creating the repository, can we change master to main (or whatever name we need for the branch) in the HEAD file?

Yes, if you do it before making any commit. Otherwise just rename the "master" branch to "main".
