Why aren't you using git-flow?
Git flow is a great tool as a starter to teach people what a reasonable git workflow is. Once you understand got better, you may find it a bit constraining.Personally, I don't see why you shouldn't work out of master and make release tags. The develop branch seems like an extra step that is unnecessary. But I suppose if your team is quite large it makes sense.EDIT: Please not I am not suggesting that you not do feature branching. That is an awesome and compelling feature of git. I just don't see the need for a second branch just for developing in general in. That's what master has traditionally been for.And yes, you can branch and redo tags at any time. If you don't know this, you probably don't understand git's underlying model very well.
