Nope you definitely can have a file named master, actually at work we
have a directory of our repository called master. But a refname / path
ambiguity is easy to solve in git: add '--' before if it's a path, or
after the token if you mean the reference, and all is fine.

  Unlike branch/tag ambiguity that is heavy to resolve (you have to
prepend refs/{tags,heads}/ which is very long and "complex" to type)
disambiguate a path is easy and straightforward. My point is that
reference/path ambiguity is easy to deal with even from a beginner PoV.

And indeed I now see that it is in the git-checkout manpage after all:

If you have an unfortunate branch that is named hello.c, this step would be confused as an instruction to switch to that branch. You
          should instead write:

          $ git checkout -- hello.c
