Git branches have been qualified as topic branches, integration branches, development branches, feature branches, release branches and so on. Git has a branch that is the master *for* development, but it is not the master *of* any "slave branch": Git does not have slave branches, and has never had, except for a single testcase that claims otherwise. :) Independent of any future change to the naming of the "master" branch, removing this sole appearance of the term is a strict improvement: it avoids divisive language, and talking about "feature branch" clarifies which developer workflow the test is trying to emulate.
