Yes, your understanding is correct.

  git pull

Will get you the very latest git version.  To see what version you have, do

  git log

This will show the list of commits with the most recent commit listed first.

  make install

in the build tree will build and install the latest version.


To checkout a specific version, after calling 'git pull', call

  git checkout v4.0rc02

To change the source code for version v4.0rc02.  To see the different
tags available, call

  git tag



Thanks,
Matt
