It is common practice for a lot of projects to branch off a bugfix
branch by default. I would favor this by default. Given that someone
needs to reproduce an issue, he/she can do it off a stable branch rather
than a unstable master.

Though, I do not understand the naming of the branch. Again, it is
common practice to name a bugfix branch with 7.42.x. Clear and simple.
7_42 looks like a) anxiety of dots and b) a tag.

PS: master is just a remote git branch. No special treatment and you are
already familiar with ;-)
