You caught me trying to simplify.  We actually have a third branch 
called "builds".  ("release" was taken)

foo--release--0.7-------------------------------------
       |                |                  |
foo--builds--0.7------patch-1---patch-2--patch-3--patch-4
       |                           |                |
foo--builds--0.7.0---------------0.7.1------------0.7.2

foo--builds--0.7--patch-1 is a merge from release.
foo--builds--0.7--patch-2 updates the compiled-in version number to 0.7.1

foo--builds--0.7.1--base-0 is a tag of foo--builds--0.7--patch--2.
