I've done enough research to know that even within the context discussed in that message, this is not what comes to mind when the word "main" is used.

That said, the approach so far in the Git changes discussed here has been to focus on configurability. We don't only have to care about defaults: we also need to make sure Git is adaptable enough to work well with branch names that fit the needs of particular Git-using projects (whether that's because they use a different language than English or because they have chosen branch names that reflect their workflow, or for other reasons entirely).

Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
