Once you clone, you get the entire source in the master branch.

git branch => will show which branch you are in currently

If you want to see the list of tags use => git tag -l

and then if you want to checkout a particular tag to a new branch created
from the master, use
=> git checkout -b v3.0-rc4

Calvin
