> The `swift-5.1-branch` is still versioned at `5.1.1` .

I was going to update these branches once `swift-5.1-branch` and `master` are open after the holiday break ([Swift CI Holiday Schedule - #3 by mishal\_shah](https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-ci-holiday-schedule/30985/3)).

I created two pull requests to update the version:  
master - [Bumping Swift version number to 5.1.2 by shahmishal · Pull Request #28513 · apple/swift · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/28513)  
swift-5.1-branch - [[5.1] Bumping Swift version number to 5.1.2 by shahmishal · Pull Request #28514 · apple/swift · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/28514)

> Where did this branch come from? It is not from the `swift-5.1-branch` or the `master` .

To resolve the version issue for Swift 5.1.2, we made the fix on top of `swift-5.1.2-RELEASE` tag and created new toolchains.

> Also the swift version string is still being hard coded in the `lib/Basic/Version.cpp` file.

We hard code the tag info in `lib/Basic/Version.cpp` to display `(swift-5.1.2-RELEASE)`. This makes it easier for us to know which tag the compiler was built from. However, we don't hard code this in the master or release branch.
