Only use the main(/master) branch for "Updated" time #16

Description

@adamency

Currently the "Updated" timestamps uses the time of the most recently updated branch, which most of the times does not represent usable features, but work-in-progress experiments or even, bot actions on technical branches (like for this repo where a branch has been updated today by a bot*, when in reality it hasn't been updated since july 2022).

Therefore, I believe that simply using the time of the main branch is most of the time more relevant to be displayed in the fork listing. If not as the default behavior, at least as an option that would be great. I feel it would add a lot of the informative value of Gitpop2.

Does it seem like not too much work to implement ?

PS: of course bots can also directly touch the main branch, but this feature would already remove many edge cases that void the value the of the current "updated" timestamp.
