How we use Git

OK, follow up. So it seems like the best way to get from git a copy of
Bugzilla to run is:

git clone http://git.mozilla.org/bugzilla/bugzilla.git
cd bugzilla
git checkout bugzilla-stable

This will give you whatever the latest stable code is, right?

Some time later, as an admin, I want to update my code to take the
latest security releases for my version. What do I do? If I try:

git pull
git checkout bugzilla-stable

might well upgrade me to a new version, if one has been released
mean-time! I could find out what the new version is from the release
announcement and do:

git pull
git checkout bugzilla-X.Y.Z

but it would be easier to document if we had

bugzilla-4.2-stable
bugzilla-4.4-stable
etc.

tags. Looking at the list, we don't seem to have them. Are they a good idea?
