That makes sense, but I don't see a way to rename branches on Github.  I 
did see a way to make it my default branch, but there's a scary warning:

"Are you sure?

Changing your default branch can have unintended consequences that can 
affect new pull requests and clones."

To answer yes to this I would have to say "I understand, update the 
default branch", and since I don't understand the consequences, I didn't 
click it.
