master is far more offensive especially in the United States

[cgag]

Are you offended the idea of a master key or say, mastering C++? Remastered albums?

[ithkuil]

Researching all that is surely somebody's Master's Theses.

more people are offended by the word master than git, I still don’t think it was a good comparison, also the connotation of Master Theses, mastering C++, remastered album is also much different.
