Phoronix: Git 2.30 Released As More Projects Shift To "Main" As Their Default Branch Name

Git 2.30 is out today as the latest stable release update of this wildly-popular, distributed revision control system...

Finally, the much awaited change. Expecting 33% faster performance now that the default branch name is 33% smaller in length.

So far not encountered a service where I had to change it back to the sane default "master" after creating a repo. I guess I simply only use services that keep the sane default.

[Zucca]

I don't care what the default branch name is, but all this is getting silly. Like a fun satire or something.

Oh but... WAIT!
IB4: someone connects "main" to "mein kampf", because the words are pronounced quite alike.
Someone should open a bug for this and see what happens...

"We investigate the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue. In our first three studies, we show that the virtuous victim signal can facilitate nonreciprocal resource transfer from others to the signaler. Next, we develop and validate a victim signaling scale that we combine with an established measure of virtue signaling to operationalize the virtuous victim construct. We show that individuals with Dark Triad traits-Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy-more frequently signal virtuous victimhood, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables that are commonly associated with victimization in Western societies."

Star Wars: Episode 1

TC-14: Make yourselves comfortable. My "master" will be with you shortly.

TC-14 (revised): Make yourselves comfortable. My "main" will be with you shortly.

Obi-Wan: But "Main" Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.

Obi-Wan (revised): But "Main" Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.

Obi-Wan: You were right about one thing, "Master." The negotiations were short.

Obi-Wan (revised): You were right about one thing, "Main." The negotiations were short.

You guys see where I'm going with this? Is it forbidden in movies to use the word "master" and use "main" instead? What about the use of the word "primary?" To me, that makes no sense at all.

Let's see it with some texts that a clever man wrote:

• I wonder how many people refuse to use software because there was a ~~GOLD MASTER~~ (oh, forbidden!) GOLD PRIMARY copy. [Red Hat still uses it: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22G...%3Aredhat.com ]. See also [IBM, Red Hat, VMware & Others Form The Inclusive Naming Initiative](http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...g-Initiative )]
• I wonder how many people avoid going to university to get a ~~MASTER'S~~ (oh, forbidden!) PRIMARY degree?
• I wonder how many people avoid ~~REMASTERED~~ (oh, forbidden!) REPRIMARIED music/movies/games?
• I wonder when Red Hat is going to stop using the term ["MASTER storage domain"](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/34923).
• Etc.

i think the word "is" really has been used by so many of all the wrong(tm) people to promote things like hate(tm) and inequity(tm) that it would be irresponsible(tm) to use it professionally. it also helps to create an environment that excludes people who don't feel that they exist, or who don't believe in a single "reality," and don't want their conceptions of concepts to be prescribed by the concepts themselves, or policed by dogmatic realists or adults. i don't see how the word "is" should(tm) have any place in modern speech.
