My controversial opinion is that I still use trunk as the branch name.

"master" makes sense if taken to mean a "master" as in a recording from which other records are made.

my controversial opinion is that it never mattered, all that really mattered was that there was a universal word- changing it to anything would cause at least a few hundred hours of development work and a few hundred additional hours of changing documents and tutorials and stuff.

For what? Main isn’t better if the issue is racism, because “main” has some really negative connotations in Korea (“main” families having servant families).

And, for crying out loud. the tools name is literally a mild british swear word.

I’ve been working with a large European company and it surprises me that they insist on using “master”. They even make other master named branches on the repos as well.

My uncontroversial opinion is that it's the worst when your company uses both, and you have to juggle a dozen different repos that have it this way or that.
