For linux and linux-tools, we usually have both active branches for both unstable and experimental. The experimental branch is the one called 'trunk' (not 'master', as we're still using svn :-(). I doubt these are the only examples. If there's any question about whether master targets unstable or experimental, that's a good reason to be explicit and not use 'master' at all.
