How does git flow handle hotfix to older release or point release of older release : <p>How does git flow handle a hotfix after master has move far beyond that release?</p>

<p><strong>Scenario</strong></p>

<ol>
<li>Work for 1.0 performed on develop, stabilized on releases/v1.0 release branch and pushed to master in fast-forward merge with tag v1.0 pointing to tip of master and tip of stabilization branch</li>
<li>Releases 1.1 - 3.2 take place in much the same fashion.</li>
<li><p>We need to hotfix a bug in 1.0</p>

<ul>
<li>branch from v1.0 tag</li>
<li>perform fix</li>
<li>merge to where?   </li>
</ul></li>
</ol>

<p>Master is far in the future and any merge wouldn't be a fast forward and for fun, let's say would conflict.</p>

<p>Would I merge to release stabilization branch and make new tag?  Is that what subsequent hotfixes would use as their starting point?</p>
