At this point in time, https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter and https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects still set their default branches to master, even though those are frozen.
I migrated to using their new main branches on #2982, by adding the branch option to the .gitmodules file here and here.
When the aforementioned repos finally migrate their default branches to main, this parameter becomes superfluous, so I need to remove it.
