Add README for the master branchmaster

It seems that the newer repos don't like the fact that our manifest
repository doesn't have a master branch:
    manifests:
    fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master

So this commit adds one with a README inside (which was taken from
the replicant-6.0-0004-rc5 tag.

+Replicant
+=========
+
+About
+-----
+
+Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices.
+It is based on LineageOS and thus on the Android Open Source Project.
+
+Android includes software from various sources, released under different free software licenses.
+Replicant attempts to remove or replace any non-free component (running on the main CPU) that is needed by Android, whenever this is possible.
+
+We are not experts in embedded devices, just a couple enthusiastic hackers that are giving a try.
+
+Credits
+-------
+
+Replicant is based on [LineageOS](http://lineageos.org/) which is based on the [Android Open Source Project](https://source.android.com/).
+
+Contributors
+------------
+
+The full list of contributors to the Replicant code base must be very long since it is based on LineageOS and AOSP, which are both using third party projects.
+However, a (non-exhaustive) list of people who specifically contribute(d) to Replicant is available at: <https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/People>

+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+To get started with Android/LineageOS, you'll need to get
+familiar with [Git and Repo](http://source.android.com/source/using-repo.html).
+
+To initialize your local repository using the LineageOS trees, use a command like this:
+
+    repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-13.0
+
+Then to sync up:
+
+    repo sync
+
+Please see the [LineageOS Wiki](http://wiki.lineageos.org/) for building instructions.
+
+For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, 
+please [read the wiki article](http://wiki.lineageos.org/w/Github_Organization)
+
+Buildbot
+--------
+
+All supported devices are built nightly and periodically as changes are committed to ensure the source trees remain buildable.
+
+You can view the current build statuses at [LineageOS Jenkins](http://jenkins.lineageos.org/)
