Because it is the name of the initial branch git will create for you in a new repository. But as you can see here: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5 we changed our default-branch to be "5.1" - and git itself never treats the branch called "master" different from any other branch. So except for when creating a new project the branch name does not matter at all. Having said that, I think I wouldn't mind if we call the new branch "master". Just because my fingers have "git pull origin master" memorized in their muscle memory and then I could finally type that also for allegro :)
