git clone https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git x265
cd x265
git checkout 3.4

where 3.4 is the release version you want.

As I said in my other email, there is no 3.5 release yet. What the 
version number tells is that the x265 version is 12 commits past the 3.4 
release and thus is an arbitrary snapshot build.
