I'm aware of git-flow, and it sucks.  A solution to a problem which for most
project won't exist.

If you were to do:

% git checkout master && git pull

Then you'd be running something that was stable, plus code in development for
the next release.  That's fine.  The only criteria for code making it onto
master is that it has gone through some testing.

If you want to use the latest stable version, you'd checkout that tag:

% git checkout -b 2.6.6 something/2.6.6

Beyond that, there's not much more to say about how branching and tagging
works.
