But I think we must not use 2.17.9X for the `master' branch! Such
tags should be only used on `stable'. It's totally confusing if a
developer reports a problem with, say, 2.17.97, and we have to ask `on
stable or on master?'...
IMHO, releases from `master' should use 2.19.XX. Then we can add
proper tags also so that e.g. `git describe' returns meaningful
results.
