Thanks for the update! Although possibly a minor inconvenience to some, I am certainly of the belief that our choice in language has a subtle, yet powerful effect on our perception of the world around us, so although some may see it as needless, I think small changes such as "master" to "main" are necessary; assuming we want to evolve beyond archaic standards and become more inclusive over time.

Hi,

The "master" branch of the following Python GitHub repositories have
been renamed to "main":

* devguide
* peps
* voters

For the rationale of the rename, see:
https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/

If you already have a Git checkout of one of these repositories, you
can rename your local master branch with these commands (where "orign"
is the github.com/python/... remote):
---
git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
---

Tell me if you have any issue with the branch rename.

Thanks Brett, Ee, Mariatta and the Steering Council who helped to
rename these branches ;-)

Victor
