==== Git Naming Conventions
Like most revision control systems, Git uses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_%28revision_control%29[branching] to
manage different copies of the source code and allow parallel development.
Wireshark uses the following branches for official releases:
Wireshark uses the following branch naming conventions:
* _master_: Main feature development and odd-numbered "feature" releases.
* _master-x.y_: Stable release maintenance. For example, master-1.10 is used
to manage the 1.10.x official releases.
* _master_: Main feature development and odd-numbered “development” releases.
* _master-x.y_: Stable release maintenance. For example, master-3.0 is used
to manage the 3.0.x official releases.
Tags for major releases and release candidates consist of a “v” followed
by a version number such as “v3.0.1” or “v3.0.3rc0”. Major releases
additionally have a tag prefixed with “wireshark-” followed by a version
number, such as “wireshark-3.0.0”.
