The repository has a master branch which is used as the "stable" development line.  The master branch is intended to reflect the latest released code or the latest release candidate code (i.e. minor bug fixes which will be included in the next minor release version).  The repository also has one or more active development branches.  These development branches follow the conventional naming structure of igb_version (e.g. igb_8_2).  Only when creating a major release will the active development branches be merged with the stable (master) branch.  Once merged with the master branch, the development branch is discarded and a new development branch is created with the next major release version.

Release Tags

When creating a release, a Git tag is created to annotate the point at which the release was built.
