Why do you think this means that git is deprecating master?

Similarly, GitHub claims that git is making similar changes, and links to a "Statement" that actually says the opposite, and a code change that also does not include anything like making that change (both are from June 2020). Since GitHub's claim is obviously in error, I wonder if it's malice or incompetence.

Is there some other evidence that git is going to deprecate master?



Based on my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26488240

The 'hint' is nicely worded, but there is sufficient evidence of a pending name change (likely to `main`) for the default.


Huh. You're right. Horrifying.
