"master" is original as in the "master copy".

Branches should be those deriving from master.

main as noun does not fit there, but as adjective it would fit.

Would you say "main-branch" or "main-copy" it would make more sense
with main as adjective. Not as noun.

Master as noun fits well:

6. (1) master, master copy, original -- (an original creation (i.e.,
an audio recording) from which copies can be made)
