If you do not pay attention to what the git advocates say ("it is easy to
switch branches, therefore you should use only one working directory for
several branches"), and use one separate working directory for master and
one for stable, then it is easy not to get confused. If you don't know how
to do that, ask, and you'll get help.

I hope not. We discussed very deeply for the 2.1 release that an installer
that is labelled "2.2.0 alpha2" has to be built from the source tar ball
"2.2.0 alpha2", and not from a git checkout. This is true BTW for all
packagers on all operating systems.
