If not, is there a recommended branch, tag, or commit, for all such (or select?) purposes, until such time as an upgrade alert is broadcasted? Thanks. [1] Regarding possible 0.8.x flavors... There are only 'branch master' and 'tag v0.8.0' here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin There are no 0.8.x branch or tags here yet: https://git.gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable
