This. To avoid the "master" branch on our git to be associated with "slave" I now name new branches "bitch"
There aren't "slaves" in git, though. The term "master" in that context is that of a master copy.
And a master copy is used to produce slaves - though slave isn't widespread in version control it's still quite present in databases. And it all comes from the same Master/Slave naming habit.
It doesn't. See: master tapes and the mastering process.
Sorry, the maining process.
