[gmx-developers] Renaming git "master" to "main"

[Paul bauer]

Hello again,

as we have finished the switch from master to main, it is now time to

I'll do this later in the evening today. If you haven't switch your 
local setup yet, please follow the instructions here: 
https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/4459

Cheers

Paul
