Why not "trunk"? Seems like the obvious choice to me.
* it's a tree structure, trunks are the "main" branches of trees
* trunk was used commonly in svn before git stormed the scene
- multiplegeorges 6y agoYes, this is far more accurate terminology as well. That's something I would have thought HN would value.
