what is your equivalent of:

git checkout -b hotfix master

The master/develop model gives you a pointer to the latest release for free. The pointer is called master.

Without the 'extra' develop branch, you have to remember or lookup the name of the latest release if you want to make a hotfix, or keep an extra tag for it, in which case the two models are the same.
