master is the wrong name for the main branch

I prefer saga branch over master because I think that this name (which means a long continuous recollection of histories) better reflects how development happens. A master conveys this idea of control over something, while it's actually the branches where development happens and which control what ends up in the main branch. A good name would also be main, or trunk.

Note: The master terminology in Git is historically tied to the master/slave metaphor and not the master copy one, see https://github.com/github/renaming
