Hi, I'm confused with how to commit bug fixes from old tagged version. Lets says that I have a serie of tags (v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v2.0) in master, and there is a bug from v.1.2. The bug was fixed, but I don't want to merge to v2.0, because there are not compatibles. The bug fixed should be tagged as v1.3

So the question is how to commit between revisions( in the example, between v.1.2 and v2.0), without made any change in the HEAD of master (v2.0)

Or maybe the solution is to separate the versions in different branches or different repos.

Thanks for the help
