> Are your principals so low that you wouldn’t accommodate change of language and behavior to be more welcoming of others? I'm saying that if someone finds the word "master" offensive in this context, they want to be offended. If someone wants to be offended, they will find something that offends them. Nothing you do will ever make such people stop being offended. Next they'll be insisting that "bit" and "binary" need to be changed, because those words trigger people of non-binary gender, or something. All of this is just making extra work. Repos and scripts have to be updated with the new branch name. The default behavior of Git is changing in a way that's not completely backward compatible, which means things that rely on it might break. There's a definite cost to changing technical language, especially in the context of names in computer software that are part of the software's interface and might be relied on by other software that interfaces with it. Changing perfectly passable names unnecessarily is just creating work for no purpose.
