Why do you think that your discomfort about a word which you've applied the wrong definition to should result in the censorship for everyone of that purely innocent word?
There are people offended about many things in life, but that doesn't mean we should try to accommodate every single person offended over every little thing (especially when you use the wrong definition to perpetuate it).
Git is software that provides a level playing field for developers of all creeds, and had zero bad intentions when naming elements of the software. "Master" isn't even a slavery reference at all. To say that it is is to claim that words cannot have multiple meanings, something which is patently false.
Master (the definition invoked by Git) has no negative history, and no negative connotations.
