You know, that confused me too when I was starting to look at ceph.

The branches that are actively used are "unstable" and "testing".  I
guess "stable" will get some life, well, once we consider Ceph stable
;)

To clear up this issue, I'd suggest we either:

1. start using "master" for what is now called "unstable" (which is
   the typical git usage elsewhere)

2. remove the branch "master", and update
   ceph.newdream.net:/git/ceph.git/HEAD to say "ref: refs/heads/unstable"

I personally vote for #1, unless somebody can come up with a
convincing historical argument..
