I understand what you want to say here, however it occurs to me there's still some confusion on how git works. So I'll take the liberty to elaborate a bit on that. There is no 3.3 "branch". Releases are "tagged" instead so there will be a 3.3 tag you can check out. A "branch" is a moving target that always points at last commit of a chain of commits. You can add new commits to this chain, which will move the branch to the new last commit of that chain. A tag on the other hand is used to mark very specific commits which are not necessarily the last one in a chain. As releases are fixed moments in time, it makes sense to use tags to mark releases. And branches on the other hand track ongoing work (either maintenance work on the "maint" branch or new development work on the "master" branch or even intermediate work on feature branches, though these are used only in user's personal repository clones).
