what exactly is the canonical way to compile a specific release from git? 
 (I still find it hard to understand the general concepts of git and/or how 
one should work with branches and tags).  I came up with

$ git checkout v0.3.2
$ git checkout -b version0.3.2

the latter statement just not to loose the possibility to continue with 
master, later.  But I can't imagine this is the recommended way.
