Subject: Replacing master branch for Texinfo git repository

Texinfo is moving to git for its version control and I have pushed a 
conversion of its old SVN repository to Savannah.  The main branch there 
is called "trunk".  This should be changed to be called "master", as that 
is the standard name for git.  There is already a branch called master 
but this is 10 years out of date, and was produced from an earlier 
conversion from CVS.  I have tried to move the label of the "master" 
branch to the "trunk" branch, but this is not possible - "non-fast forward 
commits" are not allowed.  Is it possible for an administrator to enable 
this? There is not really any point that I can see in keeping the 
cvs2git conversion there.
