There's no need to jump through hoops renaming branches in git.
You are probably better off using merge.
It sounds to me (and correct me if I'm wrong) that you have work
in branch1 that you want in master. In git the answer is
simple. Merge branch1 into master.
$ git checkout master
$ git merge branch1
You can delete branch1 now because master is a superset of
branch1.
$ git branch -d branch1
When you have new topics to work on start all over again...
$ git checkout -b branch2
Renaming your master branch is not a very typical thing to do
in git which is why I responded.
Hope that helps,
