What were you trying to do (and why)?

trying to clone a repo with refs/heads/main instead of refs/heads/master

What happened (include all command output)?

==> Cloning https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle
/usr/bin/env git --git-dir /Users/macbookpro/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libangle--git/.git status -s
Updating /Users/macbookpro/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libangle--git
/usr/bin/env git config remote.origin.url https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle
/usr/bin/env git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
/usr/bin/env git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags
/usr/bin/env git config advice.detachedHead false
/usr/bin/env git config core.fsmonitor false
/usr/bin/env git fetch origin
fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master
Error: libangle: Failed to download resource "libangle"
Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/env git fetch origin` exited with 128. Here's the output:
fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to be able to define main at least in the custom strategy:

equire "download_strategy"

class NoSubmoduleGitDownloadStrategy < GitDownloadStrategy
  def stage
    # Set environment configuration to force detached head advice
    system "git", "config", "advice.detachedHead", "true"
    # Ensure submodules are not initialized or updated
    system "git", "config", "--local", "submodule.recurse", "false"
    # Fetch the main branch explicitly
    system "git", "config", "--replace-all", "remote.origin.fetch", "+refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main"
    system "git", "fetch", "origin", "main"
    system "git", "checkout", "main"
    super
  end

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)
