This PR adds a new configuration parameter
DEFAULT_BRANCH
which can be used to set the name of the default branch globally instead of changing the it for every repository. It defaults to "master" in order to remain backwards compatible. For new installs, it can be configured on the install page.When creating a new repo, the bare repository will be initialized with the global default branch name. The commands on
the bare repo page will display the correct branch name.
