             Summary: Use git tag for release (rather than branch)
                 Key: PROTON-790
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-790
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: release
    Affects Versions: 0.9
            Reporter: Andrew Stitcher
            Assignee: Rafael H. Schloming
            Priority: Minor


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).
