It turns out that commit 489947cee5 ("fmt-merge-msg: stop treating
`master` specially") has the exact opposite effect of what the
intention must have been.

It may remove "master" from git, but what it does is then make it much
more visible everywhere else.

In fact, it doesn't even remove "master" from git itself. It just adds
more of it into the test suite etc.

So that commit is doubly stupid. If the intent was to try to avoid
"master" as a word, it failed on every single possible level.

The code that it removed was the code that actively _avoided_ using
"master" naming, for chrissake.
