Please see my previous comments. Anyone making such a change needs to review the git hooks, hook configuration (e.g. refs/meta/config:project.config), hooks-bin scripts such as email-to-bugzilla-filtered and post-receive, and wiki and other documentation to identify *all* changes needed where master or branches containing the string "master" are special-cased or otherwise mentioned. The hooks and hook configuration updates need to be ready in advance of such a change. -- Joseph S. Myers joseph@codesourcery.com
