I think 1 is the best. It will minimize the port of changes between master and other branches. > Branch naming > > 1.

Or perhaps release/2.5.0. I am not sure if I understand well this, and perhaps there is a very good reason. The proposal is to have a master in which development has place, and when the time comes new branches are created for each new release, so what are the tags for? I assume that won't exist branches like 2.5.0.1 and thus tags will be used.
