 Start a new branch from the tag, and check that
 branch out so you can work in it:

     git checkout -b your-new-branch tagname

 This is shorthand for the two commands
     git branch   your-new-branch tagname
     git checkout your-new-branch

 You should probably not move the tag, though you
 can with the 'git tag' command.
