Description

1. Try to fork: https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/classified-iris-measurements
2. You immediately get an error when landing on new forked repo since the default branch is set to main.

Research direction

Reproduce the fork from the linked DoltHub repository and inspect the errors shown when the new repository opens and when switching branches. Treat the default-branch failure and the branch-switching type error as separate symptoms unless investigation shows they share a cause; done means the fork opens successfully and branch switching no longer produces the reported error.
