Thread:Talk:Download from Git/How to set extension version to MW version?/reply

Extensions use the same branching scheme as MediaWiki core. So if you use MediaWiki 1.19.x, use the REL1_19 branch of the extensions.

Most extensions in Git do not have branches yet, because they were migrated to Git after MediaWiki 1.19 was released and MediaWiki 1.20 is still in development. The branches for older versions are only in SVN.

See for example Extension:Cite and Special:ExtensionDistributor/Cite.
