With great power such as git, comes great
flexibility.

Simpler projects just use a master branch,
everyone commits to the master branch,
and tag releases, and the tag is the thing.
Some larger projects use branches for
parallel development and then merge
back to the development branch, and
optionally back-port fixes to release
branches.

The only thing that matters is really the
commit hash of the branch you using,
but humans tend to like dates and
simpler numbers.
