That was my inclination, too, though I wonder if that might cause hassles for Git for Windows: $ git ls-remote --symref https://github.com/git-for-windows/git HEAD ref: refs/heads/main HEAD a67b85bf88ddbccae96714edb64d741ddfc3a1c9 HEAD I'm not sure how big a deal it would be in practice. Obviously they carry patches that are not in upstream git and could adjust the file themselves that way. But it might introduce extra friction, and in my experience changes to "meta" files like this can be a hassle, because you often want them independently on every branch (though in theory this one only matters for the "main" branch itself). So I won't say it's obviously a bad idea, but it might bear some thinking on what the ramifications would be for downstream. -Peff
