I second renaming the master branch to slavemasterman to remove ambiguity.

Given how stupid most people living today are, I begin to suspect that a lot of people out there won't get the joke.

The naming of the "master" branch in Git has never had anything to do with slavery and the derivation of the word itself does not come from slavery. The demand to change it comes from psychopaths who have made slavery their psychotic obsession because of an extreme mental illness that causes them to see slavery and targeted oppression of their racial group everywhere, especially where it does not exist. Ultimately, they're mentally ill and they need help to work through their issues. They should absolutely not get political power that they will use to try to spread their psychosis.
