git clonewill checkout the branch marked as "default" in GitLab.- In the core service, it should be possible to just rely on the default behavior of git for ensuring we are on the default branch
- As with git, it should be possible to set the name of the initial branch when creating a project, using
--initial-branchin the CLI, or as an argument to the core service - The UI should look up in GitLab the default branch name for the group when creating a new project and pass that to ensure consistency.

Description
Renku should work correctly on repos where the main branch is not called 'master'.
