Git branch and tag question

[jason0]

Hello,

I see on the pfsense git hub site the following branch names and tags:

Branches:
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/RELENG_1_2
  origin/RELENG_2_0
  origin/RELENG_2_1
  origin/master

Tags:
  RELENG_1_2_1_RELEASE
  RELENG_1_2_2_RELEASE
  RELENG_1_2_3_RELEASE
  RELENG_1_2_RELEASE
  RELENG_2_0_0
  RELENG_2_0_1
  RELENG_2_0_2
  RELENG_2_0_3
  RELENG_2_1_0
  Root_RELENG_1_2

Is it correct to assume that the tag names are the release points?

For instance: development in 2.1 continues in the branch RELENG_2_1, but the 2.1 release was done at the RELENG_2_1_0 tag?

Is it also correct to assume that development in 2.2 is done in the master branch?

Thanks for your time!

Yes, tags indicate a release point. Branches are for the continued development/maintenance of older versions. 2.2 is master.
