Yes, thats correct, like all the tags before it is on its separate
"mini-branch" that has the version change and the commit that labels
the tag. The mini-branches don't have a name, but are referenced using
the tag.
So tree looks like this:

----------------------------------------------------- libreoffice-4-4-3 branch
  \---version bump to 4.4.3.1           \----version bump to 4.4.3.2
   \-- "this is tag 4.4.3 rc1" [tagged]  \--- "this is tag 4.4.3 rc2" [tagged]

ciao
Christian
