Description

I think it would make sense to use git tags to indicate the versions of releases including alphas and betas.

So instead of having branch with a single change on it we should use a tag to indicate a release. This would also allow the branching structure and the releases to be independent.

As an example the recent 0.9-alpha-1 could be a tag on a 0.9-release branch. Or it could just be a tag on a one change branch (to change the version).
