By "current version" do you mean the latest release or the latest
version? branch-5.29 is the latest release code. The branch master
is the latest version of maxima with the latest changes. I think the
default when cloning a new repo is to be on the master branch.
git branch will list all branches; git tag -l will list all tags.
