You don't need todo it. Basically stable-1.8.x is your development
branch and after you tag it, it's on same state then your tag.
4) I do the release using the copy off the branch I just made.
The parted-X.Y.Z branches can effectively be thought of as tags in
this context.
It's useless and wrong. Use git tag only.
You can force the stable-1.8.x to be checked out at state of one tag
and it's enough if you need to use it as codebase for something later.
I *never* could find anything in the git documentation to explicitly
check out a tag. The only documentation I can find explains how to tag,
but not check out a specific tag.
How do you do this?
