In the context of Git, "master" is not used in the sense of a master/slave relationship but as a master copy. Are you hoping for a blanket ban of the word "master" regardless of the context?

I'm mainly hoping to rid our technical vocabulary of non-inclusive terms, like master/slave, based on https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-knodel-terminology-00.html#r...

Again, in the context of Git, "master" is not used as in master/slave. Words can have different meanings in different contexts. Should chess players stop using "master" for their titles? Should the music industry stop calling "master" the initial recording of an album that will get replicated?
