Yes, you need to checkout the 26 branch to get the next version to be
released. A git branch -a will probably list all the branches and you
should see one labelled 26 (I'm not running emacs from git at present, so
cannot check). I believe git 26 has been in 'feature freeze' for a while
while they try to sort out the main bugs needing to be fixed before 26.1
can be released.

Note also that I believe the template changes in org are not in the maint
branch, only master. So you could try  the maint btranch as that would at
least have known bugs fixed.
