How to know which git commit corresponds to a Download version?

Hello,

I try to find the corresponding git commit of the last downloadable release (here), with no success.

I thought it was the corresponding tag but when I diff the source directory I can see differences..

At least, it's the case for the 2.4.8 version.

So, my question: How to know which branch/tag corresponds to a specific download release on the website?

Thanks!

Afaik this is the way to go

clone the repository
git checkout 2.4.9 gives you the stable release that was offered as download except a slight change if there were critical errors. Keep in mind that 2.4.8 had a critical 2.4.8.1 revision.
git checkout 2.4 is the best way to go, it contains all stable fixes after the last package
git checkout master gives you the master branch with all new developed functionality but does not guarantee a stable built.

Does that help?
