Thanks for your answer Ady.

However, I cloned the repo and "git branch" only returns:
* master

How can I find this "syslinux-4.xx" branch or at least spot the commits
in that branch more recent than the 4.07 release?

A did a bit of RTFM but am not acquainted with git so any clue will be
appreciated.

Sorry for this < newbie question and thanks in advance.
