git-codereview: allow work on main branches

The only reason not to allow work on branches named for the
origin branches is to preserve them for "git change main; git change new"
to make a new branch tracking main. But we can still do that and
allow commits on main - we just have to use the branchpoint
as the root of the new branch.

Now people can work on "main" (or "dev.regabi") if that suits them.
In particular, if you're doing merges, it's nice to be on "dev.regabi"
and know for sure that's the branch you're working on.
