This project has a branch for each ACS release. For example the code in ACS 6.2.1 is a branch called releases/6.2.2. In addition to the original 6.2.2 release it will also contain Hot Fixes added later. The latest unreleased code is on the master branch. There are also .N branches, such as releases/7.1.N on which we gather unreleased fixes for future service pack releases. They do not indicate that one is planned.

For historic reasons the version of artifacts created on each branch do not match the ACS version. For example artifact in ACS 7.2.0 will be 14.<something>.

The enterprise projects which extend the alfresco-community-repo use the same branch names and leading artifact version number.
