Our git repository is composed of branches. When you freshly clone a git 
repository, it will be set to master branch. This the development 
branch. When a development branch get released, like 1.4 was, then a 
branch for bug fixes on top of that stable track is created. In this 
case, the branch is 1.4. Building from 1.4 branch will not result in a 
precise and reproducible build version. So to allow this, we also add 
tags that let you pick the exact version.

To simply select a branch or a tag

git checkout BRANCH
or
git checkout TAG

If you want to make modification to it (hence maintain a set of patches 
on top), create a branch locally

git checkout -b mybranch TAG/BRANCH

You need to make sure common/ submodule is up-to-date. For that run

git submodule update


You can list branch using "git branch -r" and list tags using "git tag 
-l". 1.4.5 tag is simply "1.4.5".

cheers,
Nicolas
