I do not see why we want to be quiet and do not want to give "Now we created 'main', which may not match an existing tutorial you are trying to follow. Here is a way to use a different name to let you continue with the tutorial." after annoying everybody with "Sorry but we created 'master', which may not match your taste. Here is how you arrange it to be different" for more than a few releases already. IOW, I do not see annoyance is a valid argument against or for a corresponding message to help the users across behaviour change boundary. > If it turns out that we want to add it we can always do so at a > later date. Thanks. Let's do that too.
