I'm ok to tag releases - that is not a big deal. But branching to bugfix
old releases seems like much hassle for not much - we're only 3 developers
in this project! Bugs will be fixed anyway, and upgrading will be
necessary (branches or not), so I don't think this is such a good idea...

Right I forgot :( I'll do it tomorrow, promised.
