Shibboleth project git branch renames

[Ian Young]

Hi folks,

As you're probably aware, lots of projects are being urged to consider renaming their git "trunk" from master to something else, generally assumed to be main.

Both from external and internal deliberations, the Shibboleth repositories are in the process of undergoing that conversion. This conversion will proceed a few repositories at a time; it might take a week or two to be complete. The limiting factor is making sure that our continuous integration system tracks this change.

If you don't use our source repositories, you will be completely unaffected by this change. It has no effect on our download area or artifacts in our Nexus repository. In this case, there is nothing you need to do.

We are making no change to branches other than "master" at this time. If you only use, say, one of the "maintenance" branches (e.g., "maint-3.4") there is nothing you need to do.

If you do use the default branch in our source repositories, once each repository has been migrated you can either perform a new "git clone" or run a few commands to update your clone so that it follows the new "main" branch instead. There's a script to perform that function in our java-parent-project repository, in "resources/git/follow-main". You can access that directly here:

https://git.shibboleth.net/view/?p=java-parent-project.git;a=blob;f=resources/git/follow-main;h=9d69fffb7979ff16bdeb00ee7cc681c3bb3a4208;hb=HEAD

If you want to follow this work as it proceeds, there is a JIRA ticket and a Confluence status page:

* https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/GEN-264

* https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=79856812

The status page, in particular, lists those repositories which have been converted along with those still to be processed.

I will post here again once all the repositories have been migrated.
