[asterisk-users] So does 1.4.1 show up in the /branches/1.4, or only in the tags/1.4.1

Yup, typically it's a changelog and significant changes are noted along
with version number bumps.

I'm presuming the /branch/1.4 is "the latest stable version of 1.4
with the latest patches."    Since there is a 1.4.1 it means it is
also 1.4.1 with the latest patches -- or so I presume.

Having a file means people can look at see what they have, without
having to ask here :-)   Now that I know I can interpret what it
means.    I'm assuming that the latest /branch/1.4 is "the one to run"
if you want a stable system with all known and tested patches and
fixes but only modest new functionality -- or should one really be running
/tags/1.4.1 and regularly updating your tag in order to get that?
