Just FYI, there is a discussion/tendency at the moment to think about
changing the name of the branch usually known as 'master'.
This is around troubling historical connotations of master-slave
relationships etc. Also see 'whitelist/blacklist' etc.
In the case of git the term 'master' really refers to an "original
template, from which others are made" - like in stamping something out from
a mould etc.
I don't see this as a troubling use but thought I'd mention how the winds
are blowing...
