Running from the trunk
As we mentioned before, stable releases of OpenStack happen on a 6-month cadence. Active development happens in the trunk of each of the software projects (the master branch on the web-based repository service for OpenStack at: http://git.openstack.org). This master repository controls the distributed version control for the OpenStack project and aids in source code management. This is very similar to the well-known GitHub service used by many other open source projects. In addition to the Git repository, there are some number of stable branches corresponding to the 6-month releases. Features are implemented in the master branch, and bug fixes are backported from the trunk to the branches on an irregular basis.
