These issues existed before too if user changed their default branch, nice catch.

Actually, this looks like it was intentionally there so that even if repo is created with other branch as default, and then master is pushed, it would reset repo to that branch.

I am not sure this is desired at all, either with master or with any other name.

Needs entry in custom/conf/app.ini.sample

@6543 this one has to be kept this way as git init defaults the branch name and doesn't have configuration options to change it.

@techknowlogick We can add an extra git command fmt.Sprintf("git branch -m master %s", settings.DefaultBranch) to change the default branch name.
