Subject: Renaming master branch in aports.git to edge?

Hello,

With all of the discussion about github renaming their default branch from 
"master" to "main", it occured to me that the "master" branch in aports.git 
reflects Alpine's rolling release "edge" repositories.

Discussion of the semantics behind the terminology aside, I think it would be 
more transparent if we renamed "master" to "edge."  This would cause the edge 
repositories to be aligned with an obviously-named branch in aports.git, which 
seems like it would be helpful in general, verses having a special case for 
master == edge and release branches being named after their version numbers.

Thoughts?
