Hi @mburtka ,
May I suggest you to have a look at the similar functionality implemented in our fork and consider adopting (part of) it?
The difference is I believe that we've exposed the GetRemoteDefaultBranch as a static method on Repository class, so that the user could get a default branch name before they clone a repo.

Is there any update on this?
Would love to set a default branch while initializing an empty repository. Thanks.

Any chance of getting this merged? It's still a simple change with no conflicts, so can be done at any point.
Uh oh!

Implements the feature requested in #1796
This fetches the default branch from a remote repository. This is useful to detect changes, and when remotes are added following initialization.
