Aren't there some features of Github that work better (or more

It is the default default-branch of github. Because it is the name of
the initial branch git will create for you in a new repository. But as
you can see here: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5 we changed our
default-branch to be "5.1" - and git itself never treats the branch
called "master" different from any other branch. So except for when
creating a new project the branch name does not matter at all.
Having said that, I think I wouldn't mind if we call the new branch
"master". Just because my fingers have "git pull origin master"
memorized in their muscle memory and then I could finally type that also
for allegro :)
