I prefer not, here some arguments

but if it is done, then "trunk" would be my favourite.
it will be scary on the client side:

If this doesn't work, I hope that I can still save the files I've
changed, download the whole repository again, and the restore the files.

All,
As you may have seen, there's a movement to rename the "master" branch to
"main" or "trunk" (at least in the U.S.)[1][2]. Github is doing this, and
I personally think this makes sense.
Are there any objections if we change "master"? If we do change it, is
there a preference for "main", "trunk" or something else?
My personal preference would be for trunk, but I'm open.
Best,
Tim
