"Master" is used in lots of circumstances as the "authoritive version". You've heard of films and music being "remastered"? Well that's because the version all the production copies are copies of is the "master". "Remastering" is the process of remaking the master.

This is the usage in git. It has nothing to do with slaves.

Oh my ... Thanks! The remastered made a audible click in my brain! Now it makes sense and I'm ready to move on :D
