nix-prefetch-git: set branch name to suppress hint from git #1416

Closed Mindavi closed 1 month ago

Mindavi commented 1 month ago

In my system logs I see this every time a new eval starts:

hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint:
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint:         git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint:
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint:
hydra-evaluator[PID]: hint:         git branch -m <name>

This ensures this hint is not logged anymore and unclutters the syslog. I presume it does not really matter what name is chosen for the branch.
