It's a nice gesture but it's silly.
There are multiple definitions of 'master'. This has no connotation with master and slave. My other branches are not someone inferior to the master branch, and the master branch does not command the other branches. The other branches are normally an improvement on master, and master is usually transformed to resemble another branch.
If you want to fight systematic racism in society, changing the word master, when master has nothing to do with master/slave, seems a nice gesture, but rather kneejerk, and forces people to do a lot more work, all because someone failed to use a dictionary, which causes annoyance rather than a change of mindset.
