I was somewhat aware of Bitkeeper, but crucially, 1. There are no slave branches. 2. "My impression" was my impression as someone new to git. I'm extrapolating other people, but I think it's fair to say that many (most?) people won't make the connection to chattel slavery. 3. Git is not directly modelled off Bitkeeper. But like I said, I don't object to people changing the name, but more to people thinking changing the name is important.
