Actually, the tag "release_0_38" represents the actual release, while 
the branch "release_0_38_patches" represents the HEAD for the patches 
to that release, if I understand correctly.  That is the reason for the 
tag in addition to the branch, and also for the "_patches" part, since 
that branch is not the actual release, but the release plus patches.
