That's (3 mins) probably about the same amount of time as most users waste on stack overflow for Git questions, or the old 'RTFM', for their problems in a typical week anyway. 3 mins out of a 35 hr week, over a 44 week x 25 year life is 1.3 ppm, unless you work too hard and too long, where it's an even lower ppm. There are mechanism in this series for setting the default branch name. -- Philip
