Thanks, that did make it much easier to read.

OK. I don't have a preference either way on the "truth" behavior, but
certainly considering it an error is the conservative thing.

Thanks.
This version looks OK to me. The remaining issues that came up in
earlier discussion but I didn't see you weigh in on are:
- what should happen with a detached HEAD? We'd match HEAD in the
suppressDest config, which I think is quite reasonable. Not sure if
it's worth documenting or testing that specifically.
- should "master" be in the list even if you configure a value? That
would do the wrong thing if you have a non-integration master, but
that seems unlikely. And it would do the right thing if somebody
later puts "main" in merge.suppressDest, but still occasionally
works with "master" repos (where "right" is defined as "what they
probably wanted", but it is perhaps a bit magical).
- what's the plan if we do switch init.defaultBranch to "main"? Would
we add default_branch() to the list of defaults alongside "master",
or just add "main", or just leave it and let people configure
independently? It doesn't need to be decided now, but maybe worth
thinking about.
