One question that's been rattling round my mind is how we change the documentation to suit. By that, I mean, it has become common parlance at the moment to say "master" as the canonical branch, because that's the one that's been baked as the default. Now that we're making this configurable, I'm curious how we're going to change our semantics to match the "default" branch (which was "master") when talking about git branches, either here on the list, or in documentation. Kindly, Thomas
