Is it an option to add

    git config --global init.defaultBranchName master

at the very beginning of the test script without making any other change?

After all, we may want to avoid 'slave' but 'master' by itself is not all that bad, especially given that it is used only in the test script. If we were to have "does the configuration variable work OK?" test somewhere anyway, why not make it this test?
