Change default branch in gitolite-admin?

[Dunnigan (US), Terrence J]

Hi,

 

How can I change the name of the default branch in the gitolite-admin repo? Instead of ‘master’ I’d like to use a different branch name.

 

Thanks,

 

Terry

You'd have to patch lib/Gitolite/Hooks/PostUpdate.pm. It's a
trivial change, but it should work fine. Please test it out.
