Bug#1035415: tldr -u refers to non-existent branch and fails

[chylex]

Package: tldr
Version: 0.6.4-1+b2
Severity: important

Running tldr -u (--update) to download its offline cache fails with an
error:

fatal: couldn't find remote ref master
tldr: Received ExitFailure 1 when running
Raw command: git pull origin master
Run from: /root/.local/share/tldr/tldr

This makes new installations unusable because tldr needs to download its
offline cache before it can be used. Existing installations can still be
used, but will not receive any updates to the offline cache.

The tldr repository has removed the master branch and broke old clients:
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/issues/9628

The latest tldr version 0.6.4 in bullseye (stable) refers to the master
branch which is now deleted.
