I concede the point about the word's origin... not that I've seen anyone ever refer to a branch as a "slave", nor do I think that it's appropriate given that the branches are not subservient to the trunk/master/main/etc until one is merged into or rebased onto the other...

I also wrote a whole-ass speech about the modern world's relation to the Atlantic slave trade and the guilt certain people are trying to inflict on everyone, but I know what the replies will be (we're just redditors by another name after all) and it's ultimately not a soapbox worth dying on. Anyway, my thesis is study history, learn its injustices, and learn how to do better effectively.
