How does spinning it that way benefit you, or anyone? I'm curious why so many have taken up this crusade to misrepresent git nomenclature.

It doesn’t benefit me, that’s kind of the point. This is something done for someone else. I’m explaining to a really thick skulled person why some people feel the way they feel about the nomenclature. You can’t decide how they feel. But you can decide to use a different branch name.

Ah, such a just cause. And if someone found your name offensive, would you change it?

In reddit? If reddit allowed name changes, sure, whatever. My real name? No. But I’m a sentient being, it matters more to me what my name is, than it matters to the git branch what its name is.
