The SOURCE_VERSION consists of a version part and the actual status of this version (called postfix). Both parts are seperated by a dash. This seperator dash can be detected during runtime and can enable the unstable warning instead of removing this warning in every release. Before releasing the a new stable version the release manager must remove the postfix of SOURCE_VERSION in batman.h, check INSTALL, THANKS and README and then create the tag in the repository as usual. Afterwards the development branch should change the SOURCE_VERSION to the upcoming version number including a postfix starting with a dash that informs the user that it is "unstable" and in development. This could be for example "-dev", "-pre-alpha", "-beta" or "-rc1".
