I'm not sure what you mean by "difference between features and tags for
releases".
The idea of namespacing maintenance branches with "released/" was to
make it more visible that these are branches which have been released.
I.e. a release happened close before/after the branch was created.
Compare this to a model where "master" is the development branch,
"stable-x" are staging branches after a feature-freeze date, then a
release happens and a maintenance branch gets created.
Having said that, keeping "stable-x" branches and tags as they are now
and allowing feature branches of the form
"features/component/my-cool-feature" is fine as well.
Thanks,
Severin
