I'm not sure about the part about tagging the master branch.<br>
<br>
In your example, if someone checks out v8.0.0-dev, they would not get<br>
the latest version of 8.0.0-dev, i.e. master, but the *first* commit,<br>
which seems odd.<br>
<br>
I suppose we could call it v8.0.0-base or something like that, but do<br>
we really need this?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We don't *need* it, no.
