It refers to a specific branch of the current project, named [RCBugFix](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/RCBugFix). It's basically the most up-to-date, bleeding edge version of Marlin that contains all of the most recent fixes (it is more up-to-date than RC). However, as it's so up-to-date, it's also not thoroughly tested and possibly quite unstable.

Use with caution.
