    Update git repository layout to follow DEP-14
    
    This was semi-automated by `dep-14-convert-git-branch-names` that
    recommended the commands:
    
        git branch -m master debian/latest
        salsa protect_branch debian/screen master no # (intentionally fails with error 404 if branch wasn't protected)
        salsa rename_branch debian/screen --source-branch=master --dest-branch=debian/latest
        salsa update_repo debian/screen --rename-head --source-branch=master --dest-branch=debian/latest
        git branch -m upstream upstream/latest
        salsa rename_branch debian/screen --source-branch=upstream --dest-branch=temporary
        salsa rename_branch debian/screen --source-branch=temporary --dest-branch=upstream/latest
        git checkout debian/latest
        sed -i 's/^debian-branch[[:space:]]*=.*/debian-branch = debian\/latest/' debian/gbp.conf
        sed -i 's/^upstream-branch[[:space:]]*=.*/upstream-branch = upstream\/latest/' debian/gbp.conf
        git commit -a -m "Update git repository layout to follow DEP-14"
        git pull --prune
