I am pretty much **existing** Git user where I am maintaining few repos yet I am constantly creating new ones for another projects of mine. Such abrupt change in the default branch name, without any warning, would be very confusing for me. Not every user is working on a single Git repo for their whole life. I feel that our view on who is **new** or **existing** user differs. -- Łukasz Niemier lukasz.niemier@xxxxxxxxx
