To check out the source from git from the git tag, do this command: git clone -b uimaj-3.1.1 --depth 1 target-directory-where-the-checkout-goes-on-your-local-machine
The -b says to check out that particular branch, and the --depth 1 says to skip downloading history beyond the top level --depth 1 also implies --one-branch which means, only clone only that one branch. Cheers. -M
