There can be no meaningful "trunk" in Git, since it doesn't really
support the "mainline" notion, that's why it isn't used too much in
the Git world.  We gave up on trying to maintain a mainline in our Git
repository long ago.

(Of course, that doesn't prevent us from calling a branch "trunk" --
or anything else, really.)
