It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    Then you’re working in an idiotic repo. You could just as well have have a master and an actual_master branch. Similar idiocy.

      It only takes one person to fuck it up. I agree it’s stupid, but introducing a conflicting standard increases the chances of someone fucking it up in the name of progressiveness. Needless to say I killed off the main branch that someone one had tried to make to replace the master branch.

      A place I used to work at had that… The corp had rolled out a non-delete policy with something akin to *master, so when someone made a abrv_master branch it got protected and couldn’t be deleted anymore.
