Work is done. Will leave this issue open to make the change very visible. See also the following on the repo home page

Alternative solution #49017 without changing your local setup; that is, if you have a more complicated setup (like mine)

For all those who can't pull master, it has renamed to main.
To preserve refspec to patches and branches, just changing the heads/master to heads/main should work.

[remote "origin"]
	url = https://github.com/dotnet/runtime
-	fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
+	fetch = +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/master
	tagopt = --no-tags
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
-	merge = refs/heads/master
+	merge = refs/heads/main

Putting this out there, if anyone else facing similar issue with git.

Closing as most people should now be aware of the default branch rename.
