GitHub to replace the term 'master' in push to remove slavery references
telegraph.co.ukWeird, I always thought of it as a reference to something along the lines of "master record". A master is also part of a master/apprentice relationship which should not be a problem.
It was.. the dev that came up with them stated as such already.
