However, I'm not absolutely certain that all updates to the 4.8 branch have been applied to either 5.0 (probably not necessary) or master (probably should be done.)

I have been compiling from the 4.8 branch since the master was changed to
KF5 for development. Before that I compiled from master branch.

Can you explain the difference between the master branch and the 5.0 branch
moving forward and recommend which one I should use in the future?
The 5.0 branch is the KF5 stable branch for release. Master is for
development. Currently, 5.0 is a bit ahead of master by a few fixes. I want to
merge them back at some point in time (maybe over the weekend). So for now
they are similar. If you want to follow the development of new features stay
on master. In case you want a stable version stay on 5.0.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to switching over to the KF5 version.
