When cloning a repository without any branches, Git chooses a default
branch name for the as-yet unborn branch.
As part of the implicit initialization of the local repository, Git just
learned to respect `init.defaultBranch` to choose a different initial
branch name. We now really want that branch name to be used as a
fall-back.

We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.
To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every
`git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config
setting.
