From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In the context of many projects renaming their primary branch names away
from `master`, Git wants to stop treating the `master` branch specially.

Let's start with `git fmt-merge-msg`.

Good point. The patch looks good. I wonder whether we should also address
these:

Documentation/git-rebase.txt:*   Merge branch 'report-a-bug'
Documentation/git-rebase.txt:* | Merge branch 'refactor-button'
Documentation/git-switch.txt:HEAD is now at 9fc9555312 Merge branch 'cc/shared-index-permbits'
Documentation/howto/using-signed-tag-in-pull-request.txt: Merge tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy' of example.com:/git/froboz.git/
Documentation/howto/using-signed-tag-in-pull-request.txt:     Merge tag 'frotz-for-xyzzy' of example.com:/git/froboz.git/
t/t7606-merge-custom.sh:*   (HEAD, master) Merge commit 'c3'

The first three matches are in manual pages, the next two in technical
documentation, and the last one in a comment in one of the test scripts.
So none of them are super critical, but maybe there are different
opinions?

Ciao,
Dscho

Hi Dscho,

This change will also affect git-subtree test.
We'll need this patch for subtree:

We're starting to stop treating `master' specially in fmt-merge-msg.
Adjust the test to reflect that change.

In _my very opinion_, I don't think it's that critical.
We allow git merge --edit and git fmt-merge-msg -m.
Someone may have configured their Git to remove branch name already.
And some others may always remove the target branch manually.
We probably don't want to introduce another master occurence.
(For sideline watcher: Please not argue on this,
I don't have any opinions about the word: master.)

If there're a consensus on changing those documentation,
I won't mind to do that manual work ;)

The test is a different story, since some (or most?) distro enable
check (or test) phase for their build infrastructure.
And, we shouldn't break their infrastructures.

True.

I actually agree that it is not _really_ necessary.

Actually, the hit in t7606 is in the initial _comment_. So I highly doubt
that it would break any build infrastructure to leave it alone.

I guess it's settled, then.

Thank you to all for being extra careful.
