I was thinking of a release 'round about
  19f1659a00d3df5076f768fba98463812a182a36
which is where the 'ls unknown in subdir crashes' fix landed -- just
because there are probably other regressions on mainline after all the
churn, and that was the bug that was really annoying everyone, so in
a perfect world it'd be nice to get out a release that had only the
bug fixes for people to use.  But do whatever you're comfortable with
-- no-one's going to stab us through the heart for having an
unpolished release :-).
