Howdy,

There is no 2.0.0 branch. When checking out, the branch is master at  
the current head, and 2.0.0 tag is a link at the current commit so it  
is all the same. You can check out to other tags and set head to when  
those tags were made and then if you want to create your own branch  
checkout -b <branch>.  If you don't do the checkout command, you are  
working in master, which is as of now, the same point as 2.0.0 till  
the next commit.

I haven't done a clfs release other than 2.0.0-RC1. I created a tag at  
2.0.0 and development moves on.

kb0iic at meander:~$ cd clfs-1.2.0/
kb0iic at meander:~/clfs-1.2.0$ git branch
* master
kb0iic at meander:~/clfs-1.2.0$ git checkout clfs-1.2.0
Note: moving to 'clfs-1.2.0' which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
   git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at 8ba9f15... Updated testlog and errata URLs for CLFS 1.2.0
kb0iic at meander:~/clfs-1.2.0$ git checkout clfs-2.0.0
Previous HEAD position was 8ba9f15... Updated testlog and errata URLs  
for CLFS 1.2.0
HEAD is now at b9579bd... Add --enable-arch to util-linux multilib  
configure commands.
kb0iic at meander:~/clfs-1.2.0$ git branch
* (no branch)
   master

Now that should give you a better idea. When head and checkout will be  
at the same commit, then the results should be what you received.

Not sure if I got it all correct, I'm still learning git everyday.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
