I did a git pull today

When I compile it git --version gives git version 1.6.3.3.334.g916e1

Whereas latest stable shown on http://git-scm.com/ is 1.6.5.2.

Note:
git branch shows a star before master
git tag contains v1.6.5.2 as well as v1.6.3.3

When I checkout branch next git version becomes 1.6.0.rc1.194.g9e4e

Can someone explain whats happening or am I missing something basic?
