Message-ID: <fffdb9944fc2672ccb7eac776cdd18855a1f99dc.1593009996.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.656.v4.git.1593009996.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

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`.
