Will there be a warning if you try to use 'master' as a refname if it doesn't exist but 'main' does? I assume beginners using educational resources that aren't

Will there be a warning if you try to use 'master' as a refname if it doesn't exist but 'main' does? I assume beginners using educational resources that aren't up to date with this change will be really confused.
- junon 6y agoThis was my concern as well. Millions of pieces of literature are going to be immediately obsoleted. Books, articles, whole interactive tutorials, everything. What about tools that create the `master` branch locally then try to sync it from the remote? Sure it's not a great assumption anyway but those tools originally acting in good-faith will now break and the user will be left up to figure out why. All because a few people who find offense in everything were super duper loud. Awesome precedent.
