I love good coffee, meaning strong, dark espresso! Regular Expressions are like word-puzzles to me, as are LINQ queries. I take pictures everywhere I go. Husband of 1, father of 2.
The fact that master also has the "Gold copy" and the "person who has mastered" meaning doesn't really matter though, does it. And if a lot of people "mistake it" for the intended "master/slave", then it's a good default to change.

Why do people always post this link to the gnome mailing list?
There are a lot of "maybes" and "possibles" on this thread, and no proof whatsoever. It is all just speculation to produce an uproar.
Might as well rename git, since a git is an "unpleasant or contemptible person". And who wants to work with these?
Seriously, who is actually going "Yes, now I can finally work with git" after this change?
This is opening a massive can of worms, because of a version control system. An engineering tool.
IMHO this change is just producing work on a global scale and will have literally zero impact to the world, except the disruption of people's workflow.
It appears that if we made the obvious one-line change to builtin/init-db.c, we'd have 304 tests that fail, which is about a third of our test suite.

While the discussion is important to have, the effort should be invested somewhere else maybe.
In the case of Git, the name carried over from BitKeeper. Their docs talk about master repositories and slave repositories.

I would add that Git is officially a self-reference from Linus Torvalds towards his own personality, and he's fairly offensive.
