I don't really care either way because by now I'm used to the way we do
things, but I have the recollection that having "master" not follow
upstream's master is confusing.  However, I'm not sure that it makes a
lot of sense to branch "master" from REL9_5_STABLE.

I think it might be useful to offer a way to change the default branch
using the web interface.  Let me ask the sysadmin dudes.  What would be
the git command to change the default branch?
