cmp busybox-1.37.0\(1\).tar.bz2 busybox-1.37.0\(2\).tar.bz2 
Shows exactly the same files.

So seems that 1.37 is old and unpatched?

The 1.37 .git link is a 404?

If one does a git clone or a git pull they are downloading the 1.38 
git version. 

With my project get two very different builds using same exact 
.config.

501128 Apr 18 00:01 busybox-1.38

AI mention a diffstat that shows
5870 files changed, 377530 insertions(+), 365412 deletions(-)

So a few changes between 1.37 and 1.38.

snapshot cuttently shows 2 files that are differet from others.

Redhat shows latest version of busybox as 1.37.0-3
Not sure exactly what the -3 means? AI says -0 would be the 
original, -1,-2,-3 would all be where Someone made changes.

So more I research the more I'm not understanding.
It is clear as mud.
git clone or git pull seem to be giving the lastest 1.38 git as far as I 
can tell. Just as the snapshot directory is giving 1.38 snapshows.
