Documentation file http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SourceCodeGit contains 
the text

"For all software other than the client (i.e., server, web, and API) a "stable" 
version is kept in a branch, server_release."


That wording has remained unchanged since 
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SourceCodeGit?version=1 : so far as I can 
tell, it wasn't true then, and it certainly isn't true now. Searching through 
the Tortoise Git Revision Graph, I can only find three references to 
server_release tags, all from 2008 and 2009.

Unfortunately, this confusion is leading certain developers to ignore the 
second part of the sentence:

"Don't use the server software in a client tag or branch; it probably isn't 
stable."

Could we possibly re-phrase this page, and attach some testing confidence level 
to potential sources of the Server and API components of the BOINC code?
