You can set any branch as default via origin/HEAD, and some do. It is
also easy to make origin/devel an alias for origin/master.
So what's an alias? It sounds like a git feature that makes an alternate
name for a branch and inside of git the two are 100% equivalent. If that's
so, that's a much better solution than a symlink.
