only after i looked closely did i notice that openwrt has *both* a
tag and a branch labelled "8.09", which i think is unnecessarily
confusing. something labelled with a numeric version such as "8.09"
should really be a tag. branches should have more descriptive names
such as "dev" or "ongoing" or something like that, to avoid confusion.
