Fix this: “main”, “primary”, “principal”, or “prime” are far better words than “master” branch.https://twitter.com/leahculver/status/1269109776983547904 …

"master" in Git derives from "master/slave" in BitKeeper, so I'm afraid that yes, "master" in Git has etymology that leads directly to slavery, even though the "slave" part got dropped in Git. Not all uses of "master" do, but this one does.
