Update "Set default branch explicitly"

[timholy]

#243 seems like an important change. This is my attempt to bring it up to date. This seems reasonable now.

This is finally passing. I just disabled certain problematic tests for Windows; since this package isn't something I know a lot about, that just seems expedient. I could file an issue as a reminder to turn on Windows again some day. (The error was quite strange, a permissions error on a directory & file created by mktemp(). That doesn't seem like it should happen. But I can't easily debug it locally, and for all I know it's a CI-only error.)

I believe I have fixed all the weirdnesses; my changes are limited to a single commit (the last). Short, easy to review. Can we merge this and register a new release? In about 10 days I will be teaching a class to Julia newbies, and I'd really rather not have to write a whole page of documentation about how to manually update all dangling references from master => main.

Yes, this LGTM, but i've not had time to review in depth.

@mjram0s do you happen to have time to take a quick look?

Either way, i will merge and register a new version this evening :)

[nickrobinson251]

And thank you so much for taking this on, @timholy!

[mjram0s]

I can take a look at this today!

[timholy]

@mjram0s, can we do a 1.5->1.6 update later? I'm not sure what's going on but clearly it's not a 2-line fix; there are slightly different Manifest files loaded on different Julia versions; I don't think there's anything fundamental going on here, it's just all dumb bookkeeping differences that I lack the time to track down now. I'm going to revert the last couple of commits on this branch.

[nickrobinson251]

Thanks again, Tim! I'll register a new version now

Update the tests from 1.5 -> 1.6 involves a bit of work, but you're absolutely right MJ that we're overdue doing it! #313

[christopher-dG]

Thanks for finishing this up for me! ❤️

[timholy]

You did all the hard work, my contribution ended up being a few lines. And I learned a bit (just a bit...) about the internals of an important package for the ecosystem. Thanks again for everything you've done for this package!
