Same people who care about “master” and “main” for hit branches.

Let's ignore those people too. A master branch is just fine, and should offend nobody who has a real life to live.

Would those people care about the word "hit"?

I think it’s a typo, as I think the context is “git branches” unless you think that “hit branches” makes sense in context. I don’t think it does.

Master branch comes from Latin for expert, authority. master record also comes from that meaning.

Blacklist and whitelist come from black=bad and white=good which if you are black or have empathy is a red flag

Sometimes I wonder how many lifetimes have been wasted by people all around the world fixing CI because a script expected a branch called master. All for absolutely pointless political correctness theatre.
