Shouldn't distros get their stuff from stable tags, such as 0.9.15.1? The "stable" branch would point to the latest one; 0.9.15.5, or whatever. And of course you can always create a branch for an older stable release if you want: git checkout -b 0.9.14-stable 0.9.14.3 But it doesn't need to be on the main repo. -- Felipe Contreras
