The "branch" column indicates what branch the source was pulled from in Linden Lab's internal source repository, as well as the version number. This is helpful in determining how and when to do merges.
Branching process
(note: written hastily by Rob Linden, should be reviewed by someone who knows what they are talking about - 20:55, 19 January 2007 (PST))
Though Linden Lab doesn't provide a public version control repository, it's useful to understand how Linden Lab deals with branches for understanding the code drops above.
Linden Lab does feature development on independent branches. As those features mature, they are merged into the "release-candidate" branch. The QA group tests the feature, and either reject or approve it for inclusion in "release". When a major release is about to happen, a branch is created for work on that release (e.g. "Branch_1-13-2"), which gets synced with the "release" branch periodically. Then, stability work is done on the branch, and the new code is deployed. After that, any stability work gets merged back into "release", and the process repeats for the next major release. In the meantime, stability work continues on the branch for maintenance releases.
