    1010The repository contains two types of ''branches'' on it:
    11  * '''master''' -- the currently available branch, which will be the main development branch;
    12  * '''release''' -- on every final release (but not beta, rc, and other testing releases), a ''release'' branch is created with name '''release_vn.n.n'''. These branches will allow maintenance of past releases, while development continues in the master branch. A branch can be checked out
     11 * '''master''' (single instance) -- the currently available branch, which will be the main development branch;
     12 * '''release''' (mulitple instances) -- When starting release process (consolidation of beta, rc, and other testing releases), a ''release'' branch is created with name '''release_vM.m'''. These branches will allow maintenance of past releases, while development continues in the master branch.
