Thanks, I think I follow. But the thread on branching and versioning
hasnt really helped much - seems very confusing and I use git
daily. This new naming is a new thing I guess since nognus has been
around for as long as Ive been a gnus user. I posted up a follow up Q
about what MaGnus is compared to master but there hasnt been a reply as
of yet - apparently bug fixes go there but master is development. 

Since I use el-get to sync packages including nognus I'm wondering what
exactly I should be cloning now in order to keep "up to date". Is nognus
history? Should I be cloning master or magnus or nognus?
