I am confused now.  Carsten said is his announcement that master did NOT
contain the 7.01 release:

P.S. If you are trying to find the 7.01 release on the master branch
in the repository, you will not.  The releases are now on a new branch,
called "maint", which will contain only commits that are also releases.
This will make it easier to make minor fixes to a release while
development
continues on the master branch.

Would this explanation be correct then:

Right now, 7.01 is in the maint branch, for a few days/weeks or so,
until the small nags have been resolved; the master branch is the last
6.36 release.  Once the little bugs/issues have been resolved, 7.01 will
be merged with the master branch, and everything will be back to (my)
normal?  Is this correct?

Thanks
