Requiring that the last directory be the word master, with or without a
forward slash, is simple enough but 7 matches that. Just tack the
following onto the end of your existing pattern.

.+master/?$

You'll need to be more verbose and literal if you truly want to exclude 7.
Just add more path separators and patterns like [^/]+ until you get what
you want.

I'd be more helpful but my iPad and the fiddle don't seem to play nicely
together...
