Re: git-svn eliminating master

So I've been using git-svn for a while, and just decided to try
publishing my repo via gitweb so I can experiment with showing others my
local branches before I dcommit them to the subversion repository (i.e.
allowing code review prior to commit).

It's working pretty nicely: the only problem I have is the master
branch. I don't use master at all, and I'm willing to be that a lot of
other git-svn users don't either. I take all of my branches from either
trunk or one of the other upstream svn server branches.

The problem is gitweb appears to show the master branch by default,
while I'd rather show trunk by default.

I think gitweb shows wherever HEAD points at.  Update the file
on the server and see if it helps.

Nice tip. I've updated that now. I'll know if it's worked once trunk
gets committed to again: I've rebased master against it so both
currently point at the same commit.
