First off, we release from the flatiron branch.  It is our stable
branch.  From git, do

git checkout flatiron

This will provide the full flatiron branch for building.

We are aware of this problem.  We just moved from svn to git, and there
is some pain associated.  This particular problem comes from a lack of a
specific type of tag in the git repo for version numbers.  It will be
fixed once 1.3.0 is released.  Then RPM builds will work as expected.

We are certainly interested in contributions to the master branch.  What
most people use is the flatiron branch.  If you see defects on the tip
of flatiron, let us know, and we will work to address them.

The best way to report an issue is to start a conversation on our
mailing list (in the cc) "Is XYZ supposed to happen?".  The developers
can say yes or no and ask for further information if there is a defect.
