Hi Team,

I've moved ubuntu-helpers to a more correct URL of
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/+git/ubuntu-helpers. This
avoids Launchpad implicitly linking to a non-existent Launchpad project
called "ubuntu-helpers" which had the effect of turning the various
pages on code.launchpad.net into a confusing 404-heavy maze.

I've also renamed the "master" branch to "main" so the disruption need
only happen once.

You'll need to update your clones. What worked for me:

1) Rename my local branch from master to main using `git branch -m master
main`.

2) Edit .git/config and adjust the URL against "origin" and also
configure my local branch called "main" to point to "main" on "origin"
instead of "master". The relevant sections in my .git/config now look
like this:

[remote "origin"]
        url = git+ssh://racb@git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/+git/ubuntu-helpers
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "main"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/main

You'll want to adjust the username in the URL of course.
