I agree with this. From Otto in another thread: "It is sad to see that in Debian usage of git is stifled by simple things like people not agreeing to use a common branch naming scheme despite there being a proposal for 10+ years now." I use git extensively for all Debian packaging work, but I find it hard to bring myself to care about whether the default branch name is consistent in every package I touch (it isn't, and I haven't been able to observe any way in which it meaningfully affects either me or others, so I'm not going to put energy into it when I could do something else instead). To be told that this means I'm helping to stifle the use of git in Debian is frankly infuriating and insulting. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
