19 I checked it out with the folks on #git, and they are recommending
20 that I rename catalyst_2 to master. I was given a series of commands to
21 do this.
22
23 The down side is that this will cause a forced update, so everyone will
24 have to re-clone the repository.
25
26 The target time I am considering for this is Monday, Dec 11, 0:00 utc.
27 What that means is, everyone needs to have their changes pushed by then,
28 then I'll make the change and send out an email here once I'm done.
29 Then, you will have to re-clone your repositories.
