From the install guide:

You can clone either a release branch or the develop branch: Release branches like 2.0 or .2.0.1 are more stable develop is more recent. Currently, the develop branch is the default but you can clone a release branch like 2.0.1 using the optional -b argument.

However, the branches list on github shows only:

-Develop (green mark)

-merchant_beta (red mark)

-2.0 (red mark)

Which branch should I clone to get the latest version for a production site?

This is official document on how to install Magento: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install-quick-ref.html

We recommend to clone repository only if you are planning to contribute back to Magento 2 source code.
