both projects share the master branch, and it's up to each project
to choose when to branch based on their own release schedule.

giving a random commit doesn't make much sense in the git world.
what branch are you looking at ?

there's no such thing as "labels" in git.  Tristan is correct:
both projects create release branches, and then they tag their
releases from those branches when they're ready.
