Importing https://github.com/immunogenomics/scpost with the CRAN importer fails, because the git repository does not have an origin/master branch. This repository only has a “main” branch.
Arguably, this shouldn’t matter, but (guix git) has the “master” name set up as the default. When cloning a repository it may be better to fetch everything and select the default branch — whichever name it may have.
