The install instructions tell to install git-flow-avh which is a newer fork of the original git-flow. One of the key differences is that release and hotfix-tags are not solely present on the master branch. The visual representation however suggests that. What git-flow-avh actually does is merge the tag back into develop instead of merging the release/hotfix tip into both develop and master and then just tagging the merge-commit on master.
