Thank you for your interest in this. We're currently planning to change 
the default branch name when Git 3.0 is released as documented in 
Documentation/BreakingChanges.adoc. 

Oh, sorry it seems I imagined that. I've just checked and there is no 
entry in that document about the default branch name. I do think that 
the 3.0 release would be a good time to change the default branch name 
though.

Thanks
