> Due to mistakes in the branching and merging of this repository, the history is a tangle and merging two long-lived branches proved impossible without manually restoring some manually reverted changes, among other damage.
> We have successfully rebased the master branch to repair the damage, and then merged in the other long-lived branch. This branch now exists as master2.
> This naming, and the fact that HEAD still points at master, is a pain and we would much rather rename the branches.
> We request that on the cordova-cli repository, master be renamed to old_master, and master2 be renamed to master. HEAD should point at this new master.
> The committers on the Cordova project are aware that this will require re-cloning of the repository, and are prepared to take that step.
