I do use master for branches. I use also master and slave.
But, outside of tech, the meaning of slave did not changed one big. I did not seen "master" anywhere except master slave relationship (whether history or bdsm).
So I find theory that calling these two master and slave is unrelated to historical slavery implausible. People who use it first time being inspired by that seems most plausible origin of that name.
