We've just shipped a couple improvements to branching. Now from the branches page, you can:
- Rename any of your branches.
- Replace your default branch with another branch (admins only).
When using "Set as default branch" you can optionally choose to have the children of the current default branch move over with it.
Permissions:
- Database admins are able to rename any branch as well as change the default.
- Database members may only rename development branches.
With these changes, you now have more control over the organization of your branches.
