Can you produce such a patch that does it cleanly? My knee jerk reaction is that I would suspect that you end up having to touch many places in the t/ scripts, but if you prove otherwise, that would certainly be appreciated. And no, git () { command git -c core.defaultBranchName=master "$@" } is not an acceptable solution.
