I was wondering if the strategy I'm using for tagging and hotfixing tags (which then I use for deploying rails applications) with git is appropriate. For tagging I just tag a commit of the master trunk. If it happens I have to hotfix the tag, I'm checking out the tag (e.g. 1.0), fix the issue, commit it and re-tag it (e.g. 1.0.1). Now,...
