How do I fix a bitbake failed to fetch git error?

Question

While bitbaking a Yocto rocko build I got this error:

I've manually cloned the repo, confirmed the commit b4a58d95188dd092ae20072bac14cece0e67c388 is in master, and manually put it into my build folder but I am still getting this error.

Your problem is bitbake is looking for the commit hash in the master branch which was renamed to main.

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/coreos/go-systemd.git;branch=main"
