A place I used to work at had that… The corp had rolled out a non-delete policy with something akin to *master, so when someone made a `abrv_master’ branch it got protected and couldn’t be deleted anymore.
Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
