I think we should reduce the friction for new contributions as much as possible, and it seems to me that "main" will cause the fewest headaches for new developers. It's the branch name that people are starting to expect now that Github and others have made the change. I don't really see a compelling reason not to use "main" at this point.

Hi, all.

I know calling the main branch "main" is all the rage these days, but I'd like to ask why not call it "trunk?"  It's the default for SVN and possibly CVS, IIRC.  It's also still in our configure.ac.

Cheers,
Jason
