There is nothing at all wrong with the commands above, but you might be interested to know that you can do it without the temporary branch:

  $ git commit -a -m 'My config...'
  $ git tag -m v0.1 v0.1
  $ git reset HEAD^

The final reset will rewind your branch tip and the index state to what it was before the commit, but will leave the files in the working tree untouched.
