Need stable version from git!

[sitekeeper]

I seem to have found myself on the LuCI Master (git-17.249.21998-0c99b64) / LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r4795-f12a5b8 version build. I used "git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source".gitto get the files. I was sure I use received the stable ver the first time I build it.

How can I use git to get the stable version?

Thanks
Bob

Later fixes made to LuCI and other packages will not get compiled into the firmware. Similarly fixes made later to the 21.02 branch main OpenWrt sources do not get included.
