I believe we can come up with a better name. The \"non-\" negation makes it a bit confusing when trying to reason about the meaning of a \"non-feature branch\". \r\n\r\nWe have three classes of branches now: 1) main, 2) feature, 3) non-feature.\r\n\r\nMain and non-feature are treated similarly in many aspects, but when you see the words side-by-side, at first glance they feel like opposing classes, which is a bit misleading. This is especially apparent in the `git town config` output.\r\n\r\nThe naming just doesn't feel very fitting or intuitive to me. I see that \"special\" was considered at one point (https://github.com/Originate/git-town/pull/57). I think something similar to that would be more appropriate.\r\n\r\nA likely positive side-effect would be having a shorter single-word name, for better symmetry with \"main\" (regarding https://github.com/Originate/git-town/pull/334).\r\n\r\nThoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Originate/git-town/issues/comments/104804612","html_url":"https://github.com/Originate/git-town/issues/344#issuecomment-104804612","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Originate/git-town/issues/344","id":104804612,"user":{"login":"kevgo","id":268934,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/268934?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo","html_url":"https://github.com/kevgo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevgo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-23T00:01:22Z","updated_at":"2015-05-23T00:01:22Z","body":"Perennial branches?
