How will git handle this transition? I see no need to resolve the recent discussion about renaming default branch before accepting DEP-14: DEP-14 includes a renaming of default branch, and even if it suggests using "debian/master" instead, it is explicitly not strict about that but suggests alternatively using "debian/unstable" or "debian/sid" instead. So... Those eager to avoid the term "master" can do that without DEP-14 and can do that with DEP-14 as well. Those in favor of DEP-14 but seeing no need to avoid the term "master" can use the term "debian/master". Those disliking change of default branch will not embrace DEP-14 regardless of the recent discussion. Did I miss some combination of opinion where it is relevant postpose either process because it complicates the other? (I do recognize that it would be wonderful if either of those processes would magically make the other irrelevant, but I don't see that as a reasonable argument for coordinated effort, only for sihsful thinking) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
