Sheepdog-utils installs master branch.
If you run it again, it will download the latest version of sheepdog.
Notice that the aster branch is not the stable release.

I think you may ignore the different branches.
When you run git clone you are in master branch.
When stable version is released, you may want to dowonload the tar.gz from
github and build it from there.

For debian I install these packages that allow me to build sheepdog and
also qemu.

automake pkg-config liburcu2 liburcu-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libglib2.0-dev
libpixman-1-dev groff build-essential git libfdt-dev zookeeper zookeeperd
libzookeeper-mt-dev libfuse-dev yasm libtool

Sheepdog-ng is not a branch but a fork.
It's developed by other developers and has some key differences compared to
sheepdog.
It aims to simplify some aspects (i.e. it doesn't support per volume
redundancy).
