RIP Trunk Branch

We removed the 'trunk' branch from the GnuCash repository today. It was equivalent to 'master' and retained as a holdover from subversion, from which we'd converted to Git 3 years ago.

Until today code.gnucash.org's refs/HEADS pointed to refs/heads/trunk. Github's has pointed to refs/heads/master almost since the conversion, so the following applies only to the few devs who have cloned directly from code: To reset refs/HEAD in your local repo, run
  git set-head origin -a
If you have a tracking branch pointed at trunk you'll need to change it with
  git branch -u origin/master <branchname>
where <branchname> is the name of your tracking branch.

Regards,
John Ralls
