Actually, dropping this special case, and dropping the other special case with fmt-merge-msg, we can do without the notion of the "primary" branch. We still need to have the default name, when user does not specify one, given to the first branch "git init" creates and "git clone" that cannot figure out what the HEAD at the origin points at uses, but one less thing to worry about is always better ;-)
