OK.  I was jsut curious.  I primarily use master for my system poppler,
but occasionally have to downgrade just to install another package,
before re-installing master.

My concern was that, should one do that with the branches instead of
with the tars, it would confuse things for the “newer” .so to have a
lower soversion than the “older” .so.

Perhaps the version should be something like 0.20.50 or 0.20.99 or so?
(GNU Emacs, as an example, starts with .50 on the trunk branch after
each release, to differentiate from the release branches and from the
tar releases.  How the soversion should increment is a deeper question.)
