The main branch will contain a commit which is identical to the last
commit of the old master branch (except for the hash).  If the GhostBSD
repo is merged up to that point, you can then merge the matching commit
from main and proceed with using main as the source for future merges.

If you have outstanding WIPs the process of updating them to the new history
should be about the same as the one for source:
