According to the website (lilypond.org), the latest stable release is

However, I've been using the latest version from git, and it claims to
be version 2.21.0.  So, what happened to 2.20.*?  Why does the git
version claim to be 2.21.0?

More pertinently, what version should I be using on the \version line?

2.19.82 is already a prerelease for 2.20.0, since we’re in the process leading up to this next stable release. IIUC, this is why the git version is called 2.21.0, because only some of the changes applied now will still make it into the stable release and most will be 2.21 material. It is customary for those who compile from current master to use a 2.21.0 version statement indeed.
