I also find this highly annoying. I use branch names that matches the
branches we use in svn. So when working on changes for the svn "foo"
branch, I have a git branch "foo" that is based on "svn/foo". And when
working on "bar" I use a "bar" branch and so on. A "master" branch has
no place in my workflow, and I keep deleteing it over and over again.
But mostly I just ignore it.
