Lack of master branch causing problems for data.okfn.org ... #39

First, this looks great and fantastic it is a data package!

I've noticed one problem which is that data.okfn.org struggles with github data packages that don't have a master branch, see e.g.

http://data.okfn.org/tools/validate?url=https://github.com/theodi/euro-elections

(though, of course, http://data.okfn.org/tools/validate?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.github.com%2Ftheodi%2Feuro-elections%2Fgh-pages%2Fdatapackage.json works fine ...)

Should definitely fix this in some sensible way (not completely trivial because we auto-discover these data packages by searching github) but in meantime if you were able to add a master branch it would make this data package turn up nicely on http://data.okfn.org/data/ ...

Hey Rufus,

All done! I think the reason I used gh-pages was because the data can be shared via HTTP with the proper content-type header, but I've moved over to master now.
