Wtf are you talking about? It doesn’t have a fucked up name origin at all. It was named “master” as in “master recording”, like in music production. Proof: https://x.com/xpasky/status/1271477451756056577.
Master/slave concepts were never a thing in git. The whole renaming thing was really fucking stupid. Caused plenty of breakage of scripts and tools for absolutely no good reason whatsoever.

Where did the term master recording come from?
Alright. Doesn’t change my main point. Which is the person’s name for the master branch is fucking weird.
It is weird. So what? It’s just a branch name in a software control system. That’s the point they’re trying to make.
