Re: elpa.git and `new-master`

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   There are now two votes for "trunk".  Who else?

This isn't some kind of popularity contest, and this topic is wholy
unrelated to Emacs.  The convention that we use in the GNU project and
on Savannah is to call the master branch for master.

Moving the old master to master-YYY-MM-DD and then renaming new-master
to master seems like a sensible thing, those who have elpa already
checkedout will just get a non-fast-forwrd checkout.  And history is
preserved -- if it is of interest.
