title: hubflow: what command should I do if I want to go from 0.0.1-rc2 to 0.0.1 on the master branch?
body: <p>I am currently learning the <a href="http://datasift.github.com/gitflow/GitFlowForGitHub.html" rel="nofollow">HubFlow</a> way of managing versioning and workflow using Git and GitHub.</p>
  
  <p>I created this <a href="https://github.com/simkimsia/learnhubflow" rel="nofollow">dummy repository</a> to get some hands-on experience.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>creating release branches from develop branch</li>
  <li>closing the release branches </li>
  <li>creating hotfix branches from master branch</li>
  <li>closing hotfix branches</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now I have 0.0.1-rc2 on my master branch. The tags are nicely done thanks to the HubFlow automated tool.</p>
  
  <p>Question is, what should I do if I now want to bump the version up to 0.0.1 on my master branch proper?</p>
  
  <p>Is it</p>
  
  <p>a) create another release branch using the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>git hf release start 0.0.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>bump up the version</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -a -m 'Bump to 0.0.1'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then finish the release</p>
  
  <pre><code>git hf release end 0.0.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>OR</strong></p>
  
  <p>b) go to master branch </p>
  
  <pre><code>git checkout master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and bump up the version</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -a -m 'Bump to 0.0.1'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>OR</strong></p>
  
  <p>c) something else?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
