For the sake of completion, either `master` or `main` is fine, but
please don't add both branches with the same prefix.  For example,
I use completion on branch names all the time, and it's very convenient
to quickly type just `o TAB m TAB` or `o/m TAB` to complete the
`origin/master` branch.  Having two branches with the same prefix `ma-`
would be a hassle.
