Can you help me @LazyDodo? How to know the different branches of 2.7? and also 2.8?

You can use git branch -a | grep release to find out all the release branches since v2.79.

Further you can use git tag to view all tags. All releases have been tagged with the corresponding release number, up until 2.82 with the form vX.YZ. Check out a tag to get the commit used for release.

The tags you see are for the 2.7x series all the way from v2.70 up to v2.79b.

Yes, for instance git checkout v2.79b

Don’t forget to update all the submodules after checking out:

git submodule update --init --recursive
