I've pointed to it at least twice, once just yesterday and once maybe a month 
ago,
both on the developers list. I didn't think I should post anything about it to 
the
user's list since they aren't using the versions in question yet.

You are right. Ed and I don't always have all the time at our disposal to make 
sure
everyone is kept duly informed. Sorry. However:

master: this branch will always be the latest release
working: this branch is the bleeding edge

You can checkout a specific tag or locate it on GitHub if you want something 
other
than that.

I fear that anything more complicated than what we are doing will result in 
nothing
getting done. Locally I make a ton of branches, but I merge them into working 
before
pushing up. So each commit should be pretty focused topic-wise. I don't really 
see
the utility for a separate bug-fix public branch. Why is it bad to keep doing 
things
as we've been doing for years, having bleeding edge (bug fixes and new stuff - 
trunk
or working) and discrete releases?
