Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

	1) Create a branch with the tag
	git branch {tagname}-branch {tagname}
	git checkout {tagname}-branch

	2) Include the fix manually if it's just a change ....
	git add .
	git ci -m "Fix included"
	or cherry-pick the commit, whatever is easier
	git cherry-pick {num_commit}
