After a release branch is announced, only serious bug fixes are included in the release branch.
If possible these bug fixes are first merged into master and then cherry-picked into the release branch.
This way you can't forget to cherry-pick them into master and encounter the same bug on subsequent releases.
This is called an 'upstream first' policy that is also practiced by [Google](http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/upstream-first) and [Red Hat](http://www.redhat.com/about/news/archive/2013/5/a-community-for-using-openstack-with-red-hat-rdo).

Every time a bug-fix is included in a release branch the patch version is raised (to comply with [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/)) by setting a new tag.
Some projects also have a stable branch that points to the same commit as the latest released branch.
In this flow it is not common to have a production branch (or git flow master branch).
