   Please do! Someone renaming their master branch to the nigger branch is   
   worthy of donation solely for that act!   
      
   When talking to extreme leftists I sometimes (when I'm in the mood) tell   
   them that my pronoun is either master or negroe, and that they shall   
   respect my pronoun. This is always a fun little exercise! =D
