Wherever you want :-).

Branches and tags provide a mechanism to help you with this
bookkeeping, but you still have to do the bookkeeping. Keep a post-it
by your desk stating which branches were released on which dates, if
you want.

Tags and branches are the same thing -- copies. A tag becomes a
branch if you start committing on the tag. So you may find it useful
to not make a distinction. It all depends on how you manage your
releases.

That's one way; sounds like it would work.
