It's a bit simpler than that.  You don't need to specify `tags/` when 
referencing tags.

git checkout v3.3.7           # for final 3.3 release (in detached HEAD mode)

git checkout v3.3.7 -b v3.3.7 # to also create a local branch

git checkout 3.3 -b 3.3       # for the final state of the 3.3 branch
