The git master version of gimp is not stable or feature complete -
otherwise it would be a release.

Yes, it has floating-point colour and also 16-bit-per-channel colour;
you may find someone has already packaged it as "gimp 2.9" for your
Linux distribution, although the latest git master would be a more
sensible choice.

If you do use it, make frequent backups and understand it's not a
release but a development snapshot.
