This may just be a doc problem. I'd do: git fetch --tags git checkout edison-6.0 Then when a new tarball comes out, you'd repeat with the new tag name. You can see the tags with: git tag -l (be sure to have git fetch --tags first) i.e. to update through bernard releases git fetch --tags git checkout bernard-5.0
