Sometimes having a branch and sometimes not does not sound sane to me.
;( Tag space is cluttered anyway, grep and git show-ref are easy enough
to use.

Another idea would then be to fully skip separate minor level branches
and just keep one branch per major version (7,8,9,...).

branch: 7.x (x as literal to indicate it holds different minor versions)
tags: 7.x.y (x and y as placeholder for the whatsover version)

General Workflow:
checkout tag and use
checkout branch and use -> stay up-to-date on 7.x branch

Workflow Security fix:

If any old minor 7.x versions need a security fix:
checkout most recent tag, add sec fix, create new tag, push

Something to think about? Not sure myself yet. ;)

Greets,
Peter
