IMO, making the primary branch identifiable is a reasonable justification to treat it specially. But then, why does it have to be renamed to 'ref0'? Couldn't it just be renamed to Git's default primary branch name, be it 'master' today or 'main' or whatever in the future? After the anonymization, nobody will know whether that was the real name of the primary branch or not. Leaving it at 'master'/'main' reduces the mental burden of the recipient of the anonymous repo. -- Hannes
