The has never been a guarantee that the main branch is called "master". No tool should've been depending on the name of the main branch.

  You are technically correct. In reality though you can't expect programmers to code for eventualities that occur only in extremely rare cases (until now).

    It's less rare than you think. Lots of repos use "develop", or "trunk" as their default, for instance.

      Yes, many repositories use something else than "master" as their main development branch. But how many of those don't have a "master" branch at all?
